Kabuki
makeup
provides an element of style easily recognizable even by those unfamiliar with the art form.
Rice powder
is used to create the white
oshiroi
base for the characteristic stage makeup, and
kumadori
enhances or exaggerates facial lines to produce dramatic animal or supernatural
masks
. The color of the
kumadori
is an expression of the character's nature: red lines are used to indicate passion, heroism, righteousness, and other positive traits; blue or black, villainy, jealousy, and other negative traits; green, the supernatural; and purple, nobility.

Kabuki
(
歌舞伎
)
is a classical
Japanese
dance
-
drama
. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama, the often-glamorous costumes worn by performers, and for the elaborate keishi/keishomake-up worn by some of its performers.
Kabuki is considered to have begun in 1603 when
Izumo no Okuni
formed a female dance troupe to perform dances and light sketches in
Kyoto
, but developed into an all-male theatrical form after females were banned from kabuki theatre in 1629. This form of theatre was perfected in the late 17th and mid-18th century.
In 2005, the "Kabuki theatre" was proclaimed by
UNESCO
as an intangible heritage possessing outstanding universal value. In 2008, it was inscribed in the
UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
.

Noh
masks
(能面
nō-men
or 面
omote
) are carved from blocks of Japanese cypress (檜 "
hinoki
"), and painted with natural pigments on a neutral base of glue and crunched seashell. There are approximately 450 different masks mostly based on sixty types, all of which have distinctive names. Some masks are representative and frequently used in many different plays, while some are very specific and may only be used in one or two plays. Noh masks signify the characters' gender, age, and social ranking, and by wearing masks the actors may portray youngsters, old men, female, or nonhuman (
divine
,
demonic
, or
animal
) characters. Only the
shite
, the main actor, wears a mask in most plays, even though the
tsure
may also wear a mask in some plays to represent female characters.
