Another in my geisha series, this time in a shopping, street setting, which entailed a bit more work in the detail
Hanamachi – literally “flower town” is a district where geisha entertainment is centered.
The Japanese geisha tradition dates back to the 18th century, and modern-day geisha continue to undergo a rigorous apprenticeship in geisha houses that include lessons in song, historic dances, Japanese musical instruments, and the intricacies of the traditional tea ceremony.
