Gyodo is a Japanese Buddhist ceremony where the procession is purely religious. Gyodo masks are the earliest known masks in Japan and were not worn by actors but by priests. As with Gigaku and Bugaku masks, the Gyodo masks were never signed but rather inscribed with the name of the mask, out of respect for the ceremony and for the sculptors of the original masks. During Gyodo ceremonies priests wearing masks enact the part of Amida Buddha (Sanskrit: Amitabha) and his disciples, welcoming the soul of dying believers into Paradise. The priests also carry a statue or Buddhist relics in a carriage or palanquin in a procession. Bodhisattva masks are particularly associated with the Raigo form of the Gyodo ceremony, in which the dead are welcomed into Paradise by the Amida Buddha.
