Kabuki facial treatment mask so Japanesy
Ever heard of "Kabuki"?
It's a traditional Japanese theatrical performance and intangible cultural heritage.
Kabuki has history of hundreds of years and still entertain the people. What most appealing thing of it is unique "make-up" which is used to emphasize actor's body.
Colors that they wear also have meanings; red color represent "justice", blue for "villain", and brown for "monster".
When I had a flight to Tokyo, landed on Haneda airport a couple years ago . Wondering about to buy souvenir for my mates, but didn't want typical ones, chocolates, cakes, or key rings.
I think I popped into a drugstore to buy a medicine for headache, and found this facial treatment mask. Sold by "Isshindo-Honpo".
Back then, they sell only some version of facial treatment masks at the store.
Now, variety of series are available.
Here's their online store link, if you're interested.
Unfortunately, shipments is domestic only, so you can't buy from outside the country.
