The serenity of a Geisha. Tokyo, Japan


In my visit to Japan last March, the Geisha’s atmosphere definitively conquers my camera’s attentions. They are extraordinary and they fit in the traditional Japanese culture today as in the past. Geisha are expected to be excellent performers and entertainers of men; they should be refined in the art of conversation as well as a more traditional art such as dance or singing. Most Kyoto Geisha are adept of the Shamisen (a traditional Japanese 3 stringed instrument similar to a guitar) that they carriers in lovely handle boxes. We will certainly comeback to Japan later on.
