This 3 cm wooden sculpture is netsuke in the shape of a demon holding a mask on show at Tokyo National Museum. It was carved by Ryukei from wood in the 19th century.
A netsuke is a small carved ornament, especially of ivory or wood, worn as part of Japanese traditional dress as a toggle by which an article may be attached to the sash of a kimono. (Source: Lexico)

What is the demon thinking? Why is he smiling or smirking? And who is the mask? What's the relationship between the two? I thought about these for about 30 minutes, but couldn't come up with any good answers😅
