EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite postcard, dated circa 1910s, captures a moment in time as two beautifully attired Japanese women, O-Kiku-Ean and Ayame-San, carry out their daily chores at a traditional Geisha house in Japan. The women, dressed in elegant kimonos, are seen cleaning and preparing the interior of the Geisha house for its esteemed guests. O-Kiku-Ean, with her striking headdress adorned with cranes, wields a broom, meticulously sweeping the tatami floor. Ayame-San, wearing a simpler yet equally beautiful kimono, diligently wipes down a crockery pan with a cloth. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the delicate screens that gracefully frame the scene. The Geisha house, a place of refinement and elegance, is a symbol of Japanese culture and history. These women, through their dedication and grace, embody the traditional values and customs that have endured for centuries. Their tasks, though seemingly mundane, are essential in maintaining the allure and charm of this unique establishment. The intricate details in this postcard, from the women's kimonos to the ornate screens and crockery, provide a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of Japan. This image offers a window into the past, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and grace of a bygone era.
