Quick, no one tell Jaqen H'ghar but there's another face-changing man offering his patrons the opportunity to quickly change into someone else.


From what we can tell so far, this shopkeeper is not a member of a fictional guild of international assassins. But, he does use real faces to create the hyper realistic masks he sells in Japan (and he was inspired by a work of fantasy).




If you too would like to bear a terrifying resemblance to an anonymous Japanese citizen, you can buy these masks (which start at $950 per mask) at the Tokyo shop Kamenya Omote. Or, just follow Kamenya Omote on Instagram

while you wait to feel safe to travel again.


Most of this store's customers use their masks for parties and theatrical performances, but they don't ask many questions. And we'll just say, "valar dohaeris."
