Samurai helmets.

The castle had an interesting pair of samurai helmets belonging to some of the past owners of the castle. Samurai helmets often featured a mask just to install an additional level of terror in foes a samurai might be facing. The mask on the left is that of a tengu, a kind of  bird man demon sorcerer. the one on the right is an oni, a Buddhist demon.
