Dimensions
130 x 198 x 29mm
Ever since Westerners arrived in Japan, they have been intrigued by Japanese womanhood and, above all, geisha. This fascination has spawned a wealth of extraordinarily fictional creations, from Puccini's 'Madame Butterfly' to Arthur Golden's 'Memoirs of a Geisha'. The reality of the geisha's existence, though - whether today or in history - has very rarely been addressed.
The real, hidden history of the geisha - and the contemporary reality of this intensely private and disappearing world - is here fully and brilliantly explored.
