The oldest known Japanese mask was discovered at the Daifuku archaeological site in Japan. The fragment consists of the left side of what would have been a whole mask made of Japanese umbrella pine.
There are no artificial patterns or colors on its surface. Japanese masks are part of a very old and highly sophisticated and stylized theatrical tradition. Although the roots are in prehistoric myths and cults they have developed into refined art forms. The oldest masks are the Gigaku , which were used for an ancient dance drama. There are 14 different Gigaku masks, which were typically made out of materials such as clay, dry lacquer, cloth, paper, and wood.
All these masks are different because they cover the whole face as well as the ears. Hair was sometimes put on the masks for decoration with black outlines for facial features. Some masks were lion heads, bird- beaked creatures, demons, and super humans. A lot of the Gigaku masks were influenced India, Indonesia, and China.
Some experts compare the masks to the ones worn by fangxiangshi magicians mentioned in Zhouli, an ancient Chinese text describing the rites of the Zhou dynasty 12th century BC BC. Exorcism rituals involving fangxiangshi, in which a mask was worn on the face and a pike and a shield were held in the hands, are said to be an origin of the demon-chasing rituals that continue to this day in Japan.

This book didn't get really good until chapter The beginning is laden with descriptions of flowers, faces, places, etc. As if you didn't know what a particular flower looked like. I could skip 10 pages and not miss a beat. After coming to the end, if I had known the author was going to sum up everything, I would have gone to the end.

Her life changes early one morning when she receives a strange phone call asking about a body at the museum. She doesn't recognize the voice on the other end of the phone but is immediately worried about her friend and mentor, the owner of the museum. She goes to the building and finds her friend dead, murdered. But its where she finds the body that propels the rest of the story.

Its here where she finds him dead, surrounded by what looks like a priceless collection of Mycenaean artifacts. Deborah is not a trusting person to begin with but after the police question her she goes home to find someone in her apartment. Then she overhears a conversation that leads her to believe one of the detectives is not a cop at all.
Knowing the answers to the mystery of her friends death will not be found in Atlanta and not trusting the authorities, she impulsively flies to Greece to investigate herself. In the country she finds out she has been followed by the person that was in her apartment, has someone try to kill her twice and every time she believes she knows what's going on, the story takes another twist leaving her lost and confused.
The only person helping her is a lawyer that had worked for her friend who she has found herself not only attracted to but trusting. I liked The Mask of Atreus both for its sprawling story line and subject matter which I knew little about but found interesting to learn.
The story moves at a fast pace, the characters are well drawn and its pretty well written overall. The book has its flaws. Two of the "twists" I saw coming long before they were revealed and one's not all that original.
Deborah Miller is able to move about a foreign country and investigate too easily in my opinion considering she can't speak the language and has never been there before. I debated on whether to give it 3 stars because of its problems but I went with 4 because I genuinely enjoyed reading it. Sep 18, Jenn rated it really liked it. Now, I do love to read, but this one was being done by the Writer's Track. While I do love to read, as is obvious by these posts, I'm not a writer. So, I generally avoid that track.
Still, it was a chance to get to see Jim Butcher. Laurell K. There were also 3 other authors on the panel. So, I was waiting in line while my friend was doing something or other and one of the other authors on the panel came out to inspect the line and see what was going on.
The author was AJ Hartley. I'd never heard of him before. No one in our part of the line had, so he was telling us about his books when someone asked if he had any with him they could buy.
Soon, he had tons of requests for them. Not being one to resist adorable, slightly awkward British boys, I bought his new one, a fantasy book, and he signed it for me. I STILL haven't gotten around to reading it, but I did pick up two of his modern day thrillers at the used book store a while ago.
I read the first one a while back and liked it well enough. I liked this one okay too, but there was something missing for me. The 'who' in 'whodunit' I picked up a bad vibe from in the beginning, though I'm not sure we were supposed to.
I caught the slipup made by the person too. Usually I don't, but maybe I'm just getting better? I don't know. This was a nice enough read, but far from joining any lists of my favorite books.

I quite enjoyed this, but it wasn't spectacular. A man is murdered in a private museum, in a secret room which no one knew was there, and he is surrounded by Mycenaean relics. Something large has been stolen, and Deborah, curator and friend of the murdered man, is determined to try and find out what has happened. Her only clue is the work Atreus written on a notepad. The story moves from America to Greece, to Moscow and then back to America. There are murderous attempts on Deborah's life, and beh I quite enjoyed this, but it wasn't spectacular.
There are murderous attempts on Deborah's life, and behind everything is the mysterious Atreus. So far, so good, I thought - except there didn't seem to be any consistency to her behaviour. She didn't want to trust the police, because one of them wasn't a policeman and she didn't know him There was quite a dramatic lead up to the climax, and there was an interesting twist towards the end, but I found myself with an overall air of dissatisfaction at the end.

Awash in predictability and cliches,this novel had me mumbling in derision from the beginning. Not only were the characters entirely one dimensional, but the plot was lack later to say the least.
If you know anything about Nazi Germany or Ancient Greece this novel will have you doing your hair out with its generalizations. Sure the Parthenon built after the Battle of Marathon. Give it take 50 years. It was facts like this that felt far too middle school world history class for me. Though it was Awash in predictability and cliches,this novel had me mumbling in derision from the beginning. Though it was meant to be a thriller, one leading us to figuring out a mystery being in ancient Greece, it was hardly thrilling.
The who did it was easily calculated and the relationships between the characters was cringe worthy in its unbelievably. Overall, if you know anything of the human condition and a measure of history, pass on this predictably boring novel. Jun 22, Jeanne rated it really liked it.
