Up through the 1100s, the custom of blackening one’s teeth with an iron solution was a feminine trend. Later, it spread among men of the imperial court and elite warrior class. In the Edo period (1615¬–1868), the practice was discontinued by men, but it became popular among commoners and soon came to symbolize married women.
