The Name Hannya (E??E??) Is A Sino-Japanese Word For Prajna Or Wisdom.
One Tradition States That This Name Was Given To This Mask Because It Was The Name Of An Artist Monk
Hannya-B? (E??E??A??) Who Is Said To Have Perfected Its Creation.
An Alternative Explanation Is That The Artist Would Need A Great Deal Of Wisdom In Order To Create This Mask.
The Hannya Mask Is Used In Many Noh And Ky?Gen Japanese Plays, As Well As In Shinto Ritual Kagura Dances.
The Hannya Mask Portrays The Souls Of Women Who Have Become Demons Due To Obsession Or Jealousy (Similar To The Buddhist Concept Of A Hungry Ghost). Plays In Which A Person May Wear The Hannya Mask Include Aoi No Ue And D?J?Ji; Its Use In These Two Plays, Two Of The Most Famous Of The Noh Repertoire, And Its Distinctive And Frightening Appearance Make It One Of The Most Recognizable Noh Masks.
The Hannya Mask Is Said To Be Demonic And Dangerous But Also Sorrowful And Tormented, Displaying The Complexity Of Human Emotions. When The Actor Looks Straight Ahead, The Mask Appears Frightening And Angry; When Tilted Slightly Down, The Face Of The Demon Appears To Be Sorrowful, As Though Crying.
The Oldest Hannya Mask Is Probably Dated 1558.

Gauge Is Abbreviated G.
Gauge Sizes Are Usually A Number Followed By G Or The Word Gauge.
Gauge Sizes Work In Reverse, Meaning That Higher Numbers (Like 16 Gauge)
Are Thinner Than Smaller Numbers (Like A 6 Gauge).
This Smaller-Is-Bigger And Bigger-Is-Smaller Rule Of Thumb Is Counterintuitive,
So You’Ll Have To Actively Remember That Fact.
When Discussing Gauges, A Larger Gauge Means Bigger Around,
But It Is Expressed With A Smaller Number.
If You’Re Told That You Need A Larger Gauge Than 14,
You Need To Look At 12 Or 10, Not At 16
