Kiyomori's nightmare

This artwork is inspired by a passage from the Tale of the Heike Mo-nogatari (the Tale of the Heike clan), Book Five, Mokke, depicting eerie omens and supernatural events. The mask embodies these themes with unsettling features and intricate details, reflecting the ghostly and ominous nature of the story.
