These are faces created by compositing multiple faces of Chinese, Japanese, Korean women. Can you correctly identify which one is which? The answer is over at Dienekes’ Anthropology Blog.

Chinese was easy, the composite looks almost exactly like a Chinese friend of mine.
Other two were harder. The middle one could be either Korean or Japanese. Looks like the famous Noh mask, no? Also looks like pictures of Japanese WWII soldiers. Maybe it got lost in the composite, but there are Japanese with that kind of face. But, the one on the right has that Japanese nose, the rounder eyes, the little polite smile ready at any moment to go into ‘excuse me, please’ or ‘I’m so sorry’ mode, and looks similar to a number of Japanese actresses. While I’ve seen hundreds of Japanese looking somewhat like this, I can’t place that face in Korea.
So there you have it.

(left to right) Chinese – Korean – Japanese
not so much face shape, but it’s the eyes, mouth, and nose.
Generally, I think Chinese people have “panda” noses. LOL not to be racist, but they look pandaish if that makes sense. Koreans have half moon eyes, so the bottom is a straight _____ line and the top is the round part. Japanese is tough, because if they have small eyes, it looks very Korean, and if they have big eyes, they sometimes look Chinese. I think Koreans and Japanese are harder to tell. Maybe because I’m korean I can tell them apart

January 13th, 2013 at 10:04 amdear visitors of this site,
the fact that you are still guessing who is who, shows just how ignorant you are.
Read more about history.
and that means NOT YOUR COUNTRY’S PROPAGANDA HISTORY.
And you would know, through milleniums of diaspora and migration between all three nations, none can truly call their people its own.
And if you are a hardcore nationalist, you may just ignore my words.
Sincerely,
From a Chinese
(P.S. i DON’T hate japanese and koreans. Seriously, what is the point anymore.)

July 11th, 2013 at 12:00 amI thought the first face was Japanese, but most of the commentators say Chinese so I will take their word for it. However, I can be certain the middle is Korean because they tend to have rounder faces.

I think it’s the eyebrows and the facial expression that distinguishes their country of origin.

November 9th, 2014 at 11:27 amFirstly, I am a guy from NORTHEN CHINESE.I’ve seen lot’s of MV of KOREA and uncountable AV from Japan.Therefore I can distinguish them clearly.(–LOL–I,m just kidding~)
They are Chines, Korean, Japanese respectively.
Since Korean are too thin,cuz their diet is pickled vegetable, pickled cabbage, pickled greens,you know. By contrast ,Chinese love pork,high calory diet, very much, and Chinese food is really very various so that I can always eat a lot but to be anorectic.
The third one is Japanese obviously for that all my friends sense that.
