The September monthly Korean Culture Day in Abuja focused on traditional Korean masks, to showcase the meaning, similarities and differences between mask traditions in Korea and Nigeria. 

Tal is the Korean word for “mask.” For ancient Koreans, the mask was a sacred symbol of the gods or of a particular god. They were valued and worshiped and were kept some distance away from living quarters. At the same time, masks were believed to be capable of warding off illness and danger. The singing and dancing included in mask performances originated from the practice of praying to the gods to maintain peace and prosperity in the village.

Civilization has made masks evolve from being sacred objects to becoming forms of entertainment and art.

Traditional Korean masks are grotesque and colored to the point that some may find them vulgar. The exaggerated eyes, nose and mouth are attached to the mask in a haphazard manner. Masks are painted in colors, representing both the individual, their personality and social class, as well as their age and sex.

The Korean Cultural Center in Nigeria focused on the Hahoe mask dance, originally from the town of Hahoe. Hahoe masks are considered to be the most beautiful and are known images that represent everything traditional in Korea.

The audience was shown a series of Hahoe masks.



 The imae mask represents the scholar's servant. 

The imae mask represents the scholar’s servant. It's also called the babo mask, as the character is portrayed as being jolly, foolish and naïve. The forehead and cheeks are slanted with many wrinkles around the face and eyes. This is the only mask without a chin. It's the last mask in the Hahoe mask series, and the maker died before completing it.

You can see how it looks like here.

The seonbi mask represents teachers or scholars. It's another character of high social status. The mask has flared nostrils and sharply defined cheekbones to show an air of disapproval, conceit and disdain. The mask is wider at the chin to represent and mock the large brain of the know-it-all scholar.

The audience was divided into groups and given blank masks to design as they wanted.
