"A Mask with Flesh Scared a Wife" is a Buddhist fable which tells the tale of a woman who, jealous of her virtuous daughter-in-law, dons a mask and tries to scare the girl and stop her from meeting her lover. The woman fails because the daughter-in-law’s love is much stronger than her fear of the supposed-demon. As punishment from Buddha, the mask permanently bonds to her face.
