An alternative explanation is that the artist would need a great deal of wisdom in order to create this mask.「般若」是佛教用語，相傳般若面具得此名，是因為一位名叫般若坊的藝術家僧侶完善了此能面的造型；另有一說，是由於藝術家需要大量智慧來創造這面具。The Hannya mask is used in many noh and kyōgen Japanese plays, as well as in Shinto ritual kagura dances. The Hannya mask portrays the souls of women who have become demons due to obsession or jealousy. Plays in which a person may wear the hannya mask include Aoi no Ue and Dōjōji; its use in these two plays, two of the most famous of the Noh repertoire, and its distinctive and frightening appearance make it one of the most recognizable Noh masks.般若面具用於日本許多能劇及狂言劇，以及神道儀式上的神樂舞蹈。該面具描繪了那些因癡迷或嫉妒而墮入魔道的女人。能劇演員會戴上般若的劇目包括《葵上》和《道成寺》；這兩部是能劇最著名的劇目，加上其獨特而可怕的表情，使般若成為最容易識別的能面之一。
