It is an interesting looking item, but aside from being in the form of a mask, there doesn't seem to be anything Japanese or Asian about this piece.

I suspect this is a 'fantasy' decoration combining elements of demon horns, lion mouth, and human face.
The frame design looks nothing of frames made during the 19th c. in Asian, Europe, or America.

I suspect quite modern.
