A woman sits cross-legged on a mat, holding a small round tray. She wears a dark, patterned kimono with bright sleeves and a fancy headpiece. Behind her, a mirror shows a dramatic face with a red wig and bold makeup. Cherry blossoms float near the mirror. The woman’s outfit looks fancy, like something for a special event. The bold colors and patterns stand out against the simple background. Look up actor next to see how theater performers inspired this style.
