Geisha & Maiko of Kyoto : Beauty, Art, & Dance Hardback
by John Foster
Hardback
Description
This exquisite collection of photographs and interviews focuses on four of Kyoto's most beautiful geisha and maiko (apprentice geisha).
First, the geisha and maiko were photographed at Kyoto's largest geisha dance performances and other important dances.
Next, portrait sessions were held with each woman to capture the kata (forms or poses) of her favorite dances.
The geisha and maiko were then interviewed about their photographs, giving the reader a rare insight into their artistic training.
Finally, images follow one maiko from her last few days as an apprentice through her first few days as a geisha.
Never before has the change from maiko to geisha been documented so completely.
The result is a collection of 149 gorgeous photographs that shed light on these exquisitely beautiful women like no other book before.
