Adorn that Special Space with a Mask Wall Plaque

Tell the truth. Do you people watch? Isn't the face - the human face on a mask wall plaque or for real - fascinating? And it doesn't stop there. We're beguiled by animal faces too! Our dog has the cutest face. He looks like a baby seal... Kids at the park just adore him. Catch this face fascination with wall masks!

Mouth and Ears Say it All

I was visiting the Korea National Museum in Seoul with the grandparents of my son's then fiance. On the third floor we were in a room displaying various faces of buddha through the ages. Speaking in Japanese, since that is the only language we understand in common, the 80-something grandfather said to me: "Notice these buddha's have a small mouth and large ears? That signifies the proportion of listening to talking that we should do." It was not the first time that he had said something profound to me.

In a similar way, many masks contain symbolism for the culture from which they come. Some of that symbolism might be attractive to you. Displaying a mask on your wall can be a good way to remind yourself of the meaning which you find attractive.
