What is the white powder on geisha's face?

2. Geisha first appeared in Japanese Lu Yuan period (1688- 1704), which has a history of more than 300 years. At that time, due to the shortage of manpower in the brothel, some men had to be recruited from the private sector to dress up as women in the brothel, singing and dancing for entertainment; Or recruit some social women to be drummers in the band. Later, she gradually transitioned to an all-female geisha. Geisha, from the beginning, served the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen of the upper class in Japan. Ordinary people can only see it in luxurious tea shops, restaurants and high-end kiosks. Geisha rarely appeared in public in the past because of their identity as clients. They live in seclusion. When you go out, you should take a rickshaw with a curtain. When you walk, you should buckle a wide bamboo straw hat on your head to cover your whole face. The geisha community is quite closed and has been shrouded in a mysterious situation. Even in Japan, where modern material is highly civilized, ordinary people can only understand it in movies or TV cameras.

Geisha is specially trained. They are not only well-dressed and elegant, but also well-spoken and versatile. At the banquet, they will observe their words and deeds and always deliver the right service to the guests at the right time; They can always find the right topic to enliven the atmosphere on the wine table and make the guests have fun.
