If you have seen some Japanese costume dramas, you will find that there is a special costume in some costume dramas, in which some women dye their teeth black and shave off their eyebrows. Then why are they dressed so special? In fact, in ancient Japan, not all women were dressed like this. In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, Japanese women are all beautiful women. A European wrote a book called Living at the End of Rivers and Lakes. Unlike ugly men, Japanese women play this game with thick hair, melancholy eyes, elegant manners and small figure, and constantly bow to everyone.

Americans and Europeans are full of curiosity about Japan. It was the arrival of the Black Boat after isolationism, and then Japan, which really gave Americans and Europeans a lot of freshness. However, the makeup of Japanese women does not conform to the aesthetics of ordinary people. The British consul in Japan said that Japanese women's makeup is the devil at night. He said that Germans have a problem with Japanese women's cosmetics. Japanese women make their faces white and ugly. Their whole faces, even their shoulders, are white, which makes them look insane.

For Japanese women's black teeth, Europeans say it is an open grave. Exposing Japanese women's dresses has caused so many Europeans to collapse. Then why do Japanese women dress so differently? There are actually two reasons. First of all, it has something to do with Japanese tradition. In Heian period, Japan had the habit of shaving eyebrows and dyeing black teeth. What about Japan? Pillow grass? In ancient books, there are various records of Japanese women dyeing their black teeth. On the other hand, Japanese women dye their teeth with black water made of tea, wine, vinegar and iron paste. They say it will not only make them beautiful, but also keep them black and clean.

According to Genji's story, it is difficult for some women to get married without trimming their eyebrows and dyeing their hair. In fact, black teeth are not just a matter for Japanese women. In Japan, many men run with their teeth, especially princes and warriors. This custom was not abolished in Japan until Meiji 6. The story of ancient Japanese women shaving their eyebrows was imitated by Japanese women in Tang Dynasty in China. In our country, it is very popular for women to trim their eyebrows for beauty. Some women shave off their eyebrows in order to be beautiful, and then apply cosmetics, such as thin eyebrows, thick eyebrows and arch eyebrows.

To this day, geisha in Japan are still shaving their eyebrows. Because Japanese people have the habit of blackening their teeth, we often see that ancient Japanese people called them black teeth. Actually, the country with black teeth is not Japan, because according to Shan Hai Jing and Liang Shu's records, Japan is Japan and southern Japan is a country with black teeth, so the country with black teeth has little to do with Japan. A German ambassador to Japan recalled: Young girls in Japan are sometimes covered with snow.

Their natural faces have completely disappeared. They look ugly? A German captain who has been to China and Japan said? China women only wear bright red lipstick? On the other hand, Japanese women have white powder on their faces, necks and even shoulders, and bright red cheeks and lips. It's beautiful from a distance, but crazy from a close look? The wife of the British ambassador said: The mouth of a woman with black teeth is like an open grave. All in all, makeup and skirts are scary.
