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 Double Crown Legend, private type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tiger Arts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExample:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second made, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproval:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satoru Sayama, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laced back\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\u003eDescribed as unused.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (unused)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/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\u003eMaker, model name, signature and papers are described as the previous keeper presents them and as the photographs show; the house has not had the signature examined by a third party.
