I don’t think it’s wrong you asked this question, I think it’s a good thing to be conscientious about so it’s a little odd to me that some comments seem annoyed with it. Asian fishing and cultural appropriation are a genuine things people do so I get your concern about not wanting to be lumped into that.
That being said I’m not Japanese or Asian but I do think that if you are not trying to change/actively look a different race, are purposely ambiguous about your actual race or claim that you’ve invented the makeup style you have on it’s fine to do different styles even from different cultures! I think that if you do it and get push back or even compliments from actual Japanese people then heed what they say the most. But other than those things it should be fine! Best of luck!
