Geisha Geishas Kimono Mauve Parasol Purple Umbrella Racial
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the late 1890s, presents a traditional Japanese geisha gracefully navigating the rain-soaked streets of Japan, shielded by a delicate parasol or umbrella. The geisha, dressed in an elegant mauve kimono adorned with intricate floral patterns, exudes an air of refinement and sophistication. Her long, flowing black hair is meticulously styled and secured with ornate hairpins, adding to her allure. The geisha's parasol, a quintessential accessory for women in Japan during this era, not only protected them from the rain but also served as a symbol of status and wealth. The parasol's intricate design, featuring delicate flowers and intricate patterns, complements the geisha's kimono and adds to the overall aesthetic of the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan during the late 19th century. Geishas were highly skilled entertainers who provided music, dance, and conversation for their clients, often in teahouses and private homes. They were known for their beauty, grace, and artistic abilities, and their traditional attire and accessories, such as the parasol, were an integral part of their identity. This vintage photograph, with its exquisite detail and historical significance, transports us back in time and offers a unique perspective into the world of Japanese geishas during the late 1800s. It is a testament to the enduring beauty and elegance of Japanese culture and the art of geisha entertainment.
