Mengu were the traditional Japanese battle masks and half masks worn with armor by samurai and their retainers in feudal Japan. This mask is inspired by kintsugi, which means “joining with gold”: the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, where every crack becomes part of the object’s story and beauty.

Every mask is 3D-printed, then sanded, primed and painted by hand, so no two are exactly alike. Concept developed with the help of AI tools and refined by hand in 3D.
