Topic: Tag for kabuki makeup-like pattern?

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

I've seen a number of characters in furry art, most notably Amaterasu from the game Okami, that either wear makeup in a distinctive "red markings on whitened face" pattern, or have facial markings resembling it.

As far as I can tell, despite of how distinctive the pattern looks, there's no real tag for it besides red_markings and facial_markings, both of which are too general.

Would kabuki_markings, kabuki_makeup, or something else be a good tag to use? The type of makeup Kabuki actors wear is similar, but generally more elaborate. Meanwhile this pattern is more frequently associated with animals such as foxes.

Update:
It's apparently called mehajiki. Thanks, Tamamo-chan!
