Noh Mask

The Noh Mask was an evil mask carved from a tree with a shard of the Shikon no Tama in it.

History
It was sealed by Kagome's great-great-great-grandfather who exorsiced it many years ago and placed in a box where it remained until Kagome brought a shard of the Shikon Jewel with her to the present. The seal on the box was then broken and setting the shed on fire it then tried to attack Grandpa and it found a faceless wooden warrior and attached itself to it but dismembered a couple of seconds after, then started to attck him again and tried to devour him but he somehow managed to survive. The fire department and police soon arrive. Kagome overhears a few skaters talking about the fire and rushes back to her home. Gramps is sent to the hospital, although is not badly injured. While Kagome's mother stays at the hospital with Gramps over night, Kagome is left in charge of her younger brother Sota. Meanwhile at the Store house some firefighters were looking around. One is attacked by the Noh Masked and it drives a fire truck at top speed. Kagome goes to the Hospital and her mom tells her that he's still unconscious, she then shows her the talismans that he used to protect himself from the mask. he keeps saying "Beware of the ancient Noh Mask."

Trivia

 * A conundrum is made by this mask, since the jewel shard in the mask was collected in the present and not the past, it stands to reason that the shard still exists in the past uncollected. This was brought up at a convention where Rumiko Takahashi was a guest speaker, who merely stated it was an error in logic and should just be overlooked.


 * The Noh Mask's organic body differed between the manga and anime. In the original manga, it was a collection of fused body parts cobbled up into a blob-like form, still showing hands, feet and bare breasts. Due to censorship reasons, its appearance was changed to that of a dark-colored slime like form shaped into the outline of an onmyōdō.

Death
the Noh mask try to attack sota and retreive the Shards of the Shikon Jewel, but when he got realy close to sota, Inuyasha uses his Iron Reaper Soul Stealer and slices the mask in half and thus destroying it.
