In the No theater tradition, Hannya, which translated means wisdom, represents jealousy and is part of the group of onryo-men, i.e. vengeful spirits. Before putting on Hannya, the Deigan (golden eyes) mask is usually used, which represents a high-ranking woman who already shows the first symptoms of possession.<\/p>\n
Legend has it that Hannya was a beautiful woman in love with a mercenary who went around disguised as a samurai.
\nOne day she surprised him in an amorous attitude with another woman. Pervaded by pain and anger, she approached the river with the intention of committing suicide but, at that moment, a demon appeared who proposed to put an end to her suffering and also give her immortality in exchange for the beautiful face of she.<\/p>\n
She hannya became such a horrible demon that she no longer desired to know the love of a man, but rather to cause her torment and fear of her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
