One of the major characteristics of the Okina mask is a detached chin (Kiri-ago or “Cut-chin”). The lower jaw is separated and attached with a cord. Eyebrows made of white round fluffs of cotton used to be attached, but only their marks remain now. The mask shows sweet bracing smile with inverted L-shaped eyes.
