A corrupt monk who has facial expressions
that are full of all sorts of impurities, pains, despairs, hopes,
and so on, of this present world -It is the Yangjubeyolsan Great
Elderly Mask. It appears that this mask opens its big bright eyes
horribly like google eyes and its mouth torn up to below ears is
filled with wraths, but if you continue to see and become familiar
with it as times pass, this mask seems to have pure and simple expressions.
The profound and also sweet-flavored elderly image, on which the
static and dynamic properties and simultaneously the coldness and
warmness are crossed each other, has been experimented in terms of
the modern view.
