Kumadori is the way of making up done with Japanese Kabuki. Paint red , blue, black to the face, and exaggerate feelings. Red shows justice courageously , blue shows a grudge and evil.Thus the audience got an easy to understand little helper to assess the character of a role.
Kumadori (隈取) is stage makeup worn by kabuki actors, particularly when performing in the bold and bombastic aragoto style. Kumadori makeup generally consists of brightly colored stripes or patterns over a white foundation, the colors and patterns symbolizing aspects of the actor's character. Though kumadori was originated and developed extensively by members of the Ichikawa Danjūrō line of actors, some conventions are creations of the Onoe Kikugorō line.
