1. Maiko Mameharu - sakkou and ohaguro

    As you all know she applies tooth black to her teeth. Saki Kougai Mage and O-Haguro were both originally the customs done for a newly-married woman in the Edo period. To become Geiko meant in the old days not to be married, so the Okaa-san of Yakata felt pity for them made them do it instead of marriage. And also O-Haguro was useful for keeping away from another men to make them have an unpleased sensation.” (source)
