Namsadangpae was originally a group of roving male entertainers. Led by 'Ggokdusoi (Head, Mogapi)', they did six performances, which were Pungmul (farm music), Beona (plate spinning), Salpan (rope walking), Deotboigi (mask dance) and Deolmi (puppet show), usually at the open square or marketplace of a town overnight. Deotbogi is a noun form of verb 'Deotboda (see through)', implying a mask. Without a constant ritual form, Deotboigi met people's taste and interest case by case. The mask dance is a satire play, in which witty remarks and acting were more dominant than dancing. It was composed of the first episode Madangssitgi, the second episode Eungtaljabi, the third episode Saenimjabi and the fourth episode Meokjungjabi. Masks used in Deotboigi are Ggeoksoi, Jangsoi, Pijori(2), Eumjung, Meokjung, Nochinne, Saennim, Malddugi, Meongsoi, Japtal, Chwibari, etc. Wooden masks had been used until around 1900, but now gourd masks shaped with paper clay are used. The characteristic of each mask is expressed with paint made of the mixture of glue, white powder and mineral powder dye.
