Hyakusuke
A specialty store with over 300 years of history that specializes in cosmetics for Japanese performing arts. Located opposite Bentenyama Children's Park, their wares are essential for professional actors in kabuki, theater, and film. Now a lively foreign tourist hub, Asakusa was originally an arts district where theater thrived. Even today as traditional arts fade, the long-standing store continues to deal in natural cosmetics as they always have. These include now rare cosmetics like bush warbler powder which was used to remove face powder and stains from clothing, as well as an oil-based paste face powder called Doran. The shop is definitely worth a look.
