Japanese girls also paint their teeth black when they get married. What is the picture?

What is applied to the teeth is to soak the iron filings in a special liquid. This liquid is a mixture of vinegar, wine and bad wine. Soak in water for a while and it will turn black, and then you can apply it to your teeth.

In other countries, people always dress up on the wedding day, hoping to show their best side to everyone. However, Japanese wedding makeup has been bothering everyone, and many people say it is unacceptable. But in fact, all this makeup is for a reason.

Why shave off your eyebrows? This is because it will be easier to put on makeup after shaving the original eyebrows. Because most of them want to draw the effect of bending eyebrows, if their eyebrows are not removed, it is not easy to draw.

It's just that I have removed my eyebrows, and it feels strange when I'm not wearing makeup. In Japan, shaving eyebrows is a sign that women are married and symbolizes loyalty to their husbands. Just like women in ancient China had to curl their hair after marriage, this is a truth.

As for black teeth, the legend is that there is a handsome man who blackens his teeth every time he goes to war. It gradually became a custom. Later, more and more nobles imitated it, and everyone accepted this "beauty".

Paint your face white. Although we can't appreciate such beauty, it is really "beautiful" in Japan. This is also a symbol of giving your purest and cleanest side to your husband. Therefore, you should paint your face this white on your wedding day.

Although we can't appreciate such beauty, we should still respect Japanese customs. After all, this is also part of other people's culture.
