What ๐Ÿ‘บ means

A red, long-nosed mask of a tengu, a mountain spirit from Japanese folklore. It suggests anger, menace or arrogance.

Sent to show frustration or a fierce mood, for Japanese folklore and festivals, and for spooky themes. Despite the name, it shows a tengu rather than a European goblin.
