A long time ago, I stumbled across a Reddit post that was a clip of Yoshiro eating. The comments weren't interesting but they referred to the circles on Yoshiro's face as 'eyebrows'.
In artwork, Yoshiro actually has no eyebrows!
It's in line with her make-up being from the Heian period. (mentioned in the future Kuon post)
I remember when I thought those circles were related to her becoming the Maiden and were magical in nature.
They aren't but it is interesting that she's the only one wearing such make-up. The other women in scrolls don't wear make-up in this style nor does Soh.
When the Maiden becomes the 'Spirit Stone Maiden', she shaves her brows and dons the special make-up. In the artwork of the Maiden when she's younger, she retains her eyebrows.
I can't believe I didn't notice her lack of eyebrows.
