Tanaka.

The wood of tanaka-tree is reduce into a powder and mixed with water. This is used by a lot of women as a protection against sunburns, as a perfume, and also as a make-up. The women apply this paste also on children's faces, creating sometimes strange motives.

Réduit en poudre et mélangé à de l'eau, le bois de tanaka est utilisé par les femmes birmanes tout aussi bien comme une protection contre les rayons du soleil, que comme parfum ou encore comme maquillage. Elles l'utilisent aussi sur les visage de leurs enfants, créant parfois d'étranges motifs.
