Japanese traditional women

For ancient Japanese women, we can often see their white faces without eyebrows, and their teeth are actually black after their mouths are opened. In our central plains people's aesthetics, such a special dress is a bit scary.

In fact, in ancient Japan, not all women were dressed like this. In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, all Japanese women are beautiful. There is a book written by Europeans called Stop at the End of Rivers and Lakes, which describes that Japanese women and ugly men have different rights to play. They have thick hair, melancholy eyes, elegant manners and petite figures, and they keep bowing to everyone.

Europeans and Americans are full of curiosity about Japan, which happened after the arrival of the black ship. Japan, which was closed to the outside world at that time, really gave Europeans and Americans a lot of freshness. But Japanese women's makeup really doesn't conform to the aesthetics of ordinary people. The British consul in Japan once said that Japanese women who wear makeup are the devil in the middle of the night.

Germans have had opinions on Japanese women's make-up. He said that Japanese women made their faces white and ugly. Their whole faces and even their shoulders are white, which makes people look a little shocked. For Japanese women's black teeth, Europeans say it is an open grave, which shows how broken Europeans are by Japanese women's dress.

So why do Japanese women make such special dresses? There are actually two reasons. On the one hand, it is related to Japanese tradition. When I was in peacetime, Japan had the habit of shaving eyebrows and dyeing black teeth. Japanese women's black teeth are recorded in various ancient books such as pillow grass.

On the other hand, Japanese women dye their teeth with black water from tea, wine, vinegar and iron paste. In their words, these black teeth not only make people beautiful, but also keep their teeth clean. According to Genji's story, some women will find it difficult to get married if they don't cut their eyebrows and don't dye their black teeth.
