EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young geisha deeply immersed in her practice session on the shamisen, a traditional Japanese guitar-like instrument. Dressed in an elaborate and exquisite kimono, she exudes grace and elegance as she focuses on perfecting her musical skills. The intricate details of her hairstyle and the historical setting transport us back to circa 1900 Japan, where geishas were revered for their talent and beauty.
The image not only showcases the unique style and cultural significance of geishas but also highlights the racial diversity within this profession. Geishas came from various backgrounds and ethnicities, challenging stereotypes about who could become a geisha.
As we admire this young geisha's dedication to mastering her craft, we are reminded of the rich history and traditions of Asia. The shamisen has been played by generations of musicians, each adding their own flair to its melodic tunes.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and skill of this talented young geisha. This print serves as a reminder of the timeless allure and mystique surrounding these iconic figures in Japanese culture.
