Geisha Costume

I have been inspired lately by the Japanese culture, especially the world of the Geisha. This post is feature both the traditional and the modern day geishas. Fantastic costume and photography… Enjoy!

“Geisha are traditional, female Japanese entertainers whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance.”
