Satoru Sayama, as the first Tiger Mask, brought the comic hero of Ikki Kajiwara and Naoki Tsuji to life with a speed nobody had seen. His masks changed often, and each pattern, from the fanged early type to the later legend designs, is now studied and named by collectors. Craftsmen in Japan still cut them by hand to the old patterns, in lamé cloth, leather and fur, to the standard worn in a real bout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Palky type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e YN, with Tiger Arts label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCloth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep gold lamé with leather edging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made to ring standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes are measured by hand; please allow a small margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo conspicuous marks or stains are noted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eAB (clean, no conspicuous marks)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house has not had the signature examined by a third party.
