*''Nasori'' 納曽利 is a dance associated with the ''gagaku'' piece ''Ryôô'' 陵王. The details are somewhat unclear, but it is generally said to be a dance of two dragons (male and female). When performed by just one dancer, it is called ''Rakuson'' 落蹲. The masks are blue with large white eyes rimmed in red. Large tusks curve upwards out of the upper jaw of the mask, and fangs from the lower jaw, which hangs slackenly from the main portion of the mask, which also features numerous tufts of hair.<ref name=mitsukoshi/>
