This hariko mask is rooted in the well-known folk tale of the White Hare of Inaba. In this tale, a lord called Okuninushi was traveling through ancient Tottori (Inaba) seeking to woo Princess Yakami of Inaba. On his way, he came across a hare whose skin had been flayed by sharks. Unlike his cruel brothers, Okuninushi was a kind man, and told the hare to wash itself in fresh water and roll around in cattails, which restored the hare’s white fur. The hare then took Okuninushi to the princess and the two were united in marriage.
