They are used to illustrate emotional states- warlike aggression, passion, love, etc in a sort of un-emotional matter. owing possibly to language difficulties some elements of the ritual drama-stylized movement- choreography in a rather stilted sense, and pantomime are used for dramatic effect. a similar thing exists for the Japanese Kabuki and Noh forms of ritual drama, there may be some (shared trackage) in the path way.Some Japanese ritual masks were displayed by the Toray company at the )(House of The Rising Sun) -at the New York World"s Fair in l964-65. Japan had the most advanced ( trade) type exhibits at the fair and the Cameras and similar were superb. there were also more (artistic) products like the Toray masks. the Toray company makes synthetic fibers such as Rayon. it"s a sort of acronym for Tokyo areas (Toro) and Rayon. Good Question.
