The Hannya mask, originating from Japanese Noh theater, is not specifically designed to ward off evil spirits. Instead, it represents a female demon or vengeful spirit, embodying complex emotions such as jealousy and anger. While it can be used for protection in some cultural contexts, its primary purpose is to convey the character's tragic story and emotional depth in performances.
