Description - Geisha Fan Book by Tina Skinner

Enjoy an incredible collection of 128 images showing the fleeting, effervescent beauty of young geishaapprentices captured over a centuty ago. This keepsake, fan-shaped book captures a moment now lost to history, when Japanese girls were indentured as young as 6. Dressed like dolls, they were paraded through paerties and celebrated for their beauty, charm, and innocence, all the while learning the music, dance, conversational, and gaming skills expected in a master of their craft. Here is a wonderful opportunity to see these gilrs in the glory of their colorful regalia, posing before a newly introduced invention, the camera. This treasury of hand-tinted postcard and real-photo images is a unique book you will treasure forever. << AUTHOR: Tina Skinner is a professional writer and editor. A collector of geisha imagery she also authored Geisha: Women of Japan's Flower & Willow World. << 128 color images
