Weird they went with a blond moustache... and weird that there's a moustache at all.

Why does it have teeth?

Aaahhhh...
Gilded copper ue-ba (teeth) and a striking bristle kuchihige (moustache) are distinctive features of this mask and provide a confident and handsome visual.
Except still what?

I miss your explanations pug jesus. I read the link but please share your insights on who the Ryby and Ressei men are.

Unfortunately, I only have a very shallow understanding of Edo period Japan! A lot of these things I share because I find them interesting on a surface level, but have no deeper insight into the history of them, sadly!
