To be a geisha, you have to have to an iron-clad layer around you - around your physical body and your heart. --Michelle Yeoh **NOTE: This work was done with the deepest respect, but NOT from a person who is Japanese nor an expert on Geisha. No offense was meant by any inaccuracies in the portrayal of make up, hair, fan, or pose. ** One of my (and probably many others) favorite obsession is with the Geisha, Maiko, and Oiran/tayū . They are, to me, preservers of culture, definitions of femininity, strength and living art. I respect what they do, and who they are. As a plain ol' American caucasian, however, I understand I may not know all the nuances to properly portray them. I just...really love them. And hope that nothing about this is too offensive.
