Generally, Jyo means an old man. The Kanji letter for Jyo resembles an iron, which smoothes out the wrinkles of cloth, but it has come to mean a smoothing or reassuring message to the public. These masks were used in a variety of other Okina plays. In addition, it materializes the celebration of the Okina and embodies and converts God and spirit above the human level. |
