EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Japanese Geisha gracefully plays the traditional Shamisen, a three-stringed musical instrument, in the serene atmosphere of her home. Dating back to circa 1904, this image offers a rare glimpse into the private world of a Geisha, a figure deeply rooted in Japanese history and culture. Geishas, also known as courtesans, were highly skilled entertainers who provided refined arts and conversation to their clients. They were renowned for their beauty, elegance, and artistic abilities, which included playing various musical instruments, dancing, and serving tea. The Geisha in this photograph wears the traditional Geisha costume, consisting of a colorful kimono, an obi sash, and an intricately designed hairstyle. The interior of her home is adorned with tatami mats, straw-woven cupboards, and drawers, all characteristic of the Japanese interior design of the time. As she focuses intently on her music, the Geisha's expression conveys a deep sense of concentration and passion. The Shamisen, with its distinctive bridge and three strings, lies in her lap, its sound resonating through the quiet room. The tea ceremony cup and saucer on the low table nearby suggest that this might be a moment of respite from her busy social engagements. This photograph offers a captivating insight into the role and social position of Japanese Geishas during the early 20th century. It invites us to appreciate the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Japanese art and culture.
