====Korea==== [[File:A Korean Mask.jpg|thumb|A Korean mask worn by a [[Talchum]] performer]] {{See also|Korean mask}} Korean masks have a long tradition associated with shamanism and later in ritual dance. Korean masks were used in war, on both soldiers and their horses; ceremonially, for burial rites in jade and bronze and for shamanistic ceremonies to drive away evil spirits; to remember the faces of great historical figures in death masks; and in the arts, particularly in ritual dances, courtly, and theatrical plays. The present uses are as miniature masks for tourist souvenirs, or on [[mobile phone]]s, where they hang as good-luck talismans.
