I've noticed this mask being used by almost every major antagonist in the
anime. It's mostly used by them as some sort of a gateway to call the Phantoms
( _Ayakashi_ ) but what exactly is it?

What is the one eyed mask in Noragami?


The masks are a medium that utilises the power of Hell to call forth Ayakashi
and they basically materialise Izanami's power in our world. The masks are
created by [Fujisaki Kouto](http://noragami.wikia.com/wiki/Fujisaki_Kouto),
Yato's father. The are created using the power of the Yomi no Kotonoha (Words
of Hell), which are used through paint brushes that utilise the power of
[Izanami](http://noragami.wikia.com/wiki/Izanami). He currently possesses two
brushes, his own and Ebisu's. The ability the brushes provide are of course
masks summoning and the control over Ayakashi.
