The Nobori-hige mask is characterized by his long beard and also long bristling-up sideburns (though they are missing now). The smiling face with deep wrinkles is just like that of an elderly man we could see in our neighborhood. This mask is used for a god of a branch temple or for a ghost of an old man.
