Samurai 2 Mask

Almost a year, during the fall of 2017 I learned that mask maker, Jerry Wright was planning on retiring. I had bought my two previous masks from him. His masks are all I know and what I trust. So, I got in touch and visited him to get my last mask from him. While I had a four year old mask from him still in good shape I wanted to have a back up, something that could hopefully carry me to the end of my playing days.

The padding had become pretty hard but I didn’t realize it as it had gone that way gradually over the years. Not having anything to compare it to made it tough too.

I went to visit him and his depleted stock. One felt pretty good so I selected it. A week later he mailed it to me along with some spare accessories. I wasn’t sure if I was going to invest in a paint job for this mask again but by seasons end I decided to. A plain white mask was boring.

I contacted mask painter Jay Plant in Kitchener. I initially came up with a design honouring my off-roading interests and my Toyota Landcruiser FJ40. But quickly changed it to be another samurai design. The first mask was based on images on a white background. For this one I wanted to continue with the theme but switch it up to be images on a dark background. In searching for images I found a red samurai helmet mask that would look great on the forehead.

Like the first one, Jay did a fantastic job. His work is excellent and this turned out awesome.
