On the other hand, the example of the word 'Makeup(Kesyo in Japan)' came to be used in variousdocuments from the Heian age in Japan.However, in those days, the word 'makeup' was used as themeaning of making up one's body as well as one's face. The word 'makeup' used from the ancient times in Japan really began to be used in Korea at thebeginning of the enlightened age when cosmetics were mainly imported from Japan and Ching.In thosedays since there were already specialized books about makeup, and trademarked cosmetics were actuallyadvertised and sold in Japan, Japanese makeup culture, books related to makeup, cosmetics,advertisements, and so on, were completely flowed into Korea after the enlightened age. Japanese cosmetic companies, when they advertised cosmetics in Korea, produced productadvertisements or posters using the word 'Hwa-jiang(the meaning of makeup)', and these thingsnaturally became important chances that the word 'Hwa-jiang' was normally settled down in Korea.
