Why the Geisya makes up white?

Happy New Year!!

Do you know why the maiko makes up white??

The reason why they do is because of their roots.

Maiko was appeared around 450 years ago in Japan. At that time, there was no electric and candles were used to light up houses.

In the houses, even though candles had fired, it was not enough to light up anything..

Then, maiko conceiced making up white color to show their faces clearly!!
