This skin is a depiction of Izumo no Okuni (出雲の阿国), the originator, inventor, and epitome of Kabuki (歌舞伎) theatre. Kabuki is a classical Japanese form of theatre, famous for the stylization of its drama and the extremely elaborate make up worn by most of its performers, who were exclusively female at the time. Yes, some of the women even took the roles as men. Pretty neat, eh? It had originated at around the start of the Edo era, (1603). Some even claim that this had affected a lot of culture in that era. As for the origins of the term 'Kabuki', the word itself is a compound word composed of the words 歌 (ka), 舞 (bu), and 伎 (ki), which mean singing, dancing, and skill, respectively. You heard me right folks, the Japanese way of saying it is literally Singdanceskill. Which is why Kabuki is referred to as "the skillful art of singing and dancing". Kabuki is still a well-made form of theatre to this day.
