The only one I can read is the center vertical line
建御名方命 - Takeminakata-no-mikoto
It's the name of a mythological god of Japan.

The far left line would be the name of the artisan who made the mask. Ends in 庵, but that's all I can get.

Konnichiwa gw123-san!
I think the light vertical line is "備中神楽".
備中神楽 - Bicchu Kagura
Summary of the Bicchu Kagura
And I agree with Majestic-san that the center line means Takeminakata no Mikoto.
Takeminakata no Mikoto is one of the main characters of Bicchu Kagura.
I can not read the left line, sorry.
