tsuriago 吊顎

Dangling chin, a gimmick used on some bugaku masks *bugakumen 舞楽面, such as *Ryōō 陵王, *Nasori 納曽利, and *Genjōraku 還城楽. A separately carved, rounded chin is hung from long cords attached to the lower portion of the rotating eyes *dōgan 動眼. The dangling chin swings during the dance, inducing movement in the eyes as well. The dangling chin is different in construction and conception from the detached chin *kiriago 切顎.
