Kabuki masks, known as "omote," are traditionally made from materials such as wood, cloth, and papier-mâché. The wood is often carved from lightweight types like paulownia, allowing for detailed designs. Some masks are also painted and lacquered for vibrant colors and finishes, enhancing their dramatic effect. Additionally, modern versions may incorporate synthetic materials for durability and ease of production.
