Blind Blindfold Blindfolded Bluff Buff Courtesan Courtesans Formal Geisha Geishas Kimono Kimonos Ornamental Plays Position Role Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1905, depicts a delightful scene of four Geisha girls engaging in a traditional Japanese game in a beautiful garden setting. The Geisha girls, dressed in their elegant and ornate kimonos, add an air of formal beauty and grace to the scene. The game they are playing appears to be a version of Blind Man's Buff, a popular social pastime in Japan during this era. The game involves one person being blindfolded while the others try to tag them, adding an element of fun and excitement to the occasion. The role of Geisha girls in Japanese society during the early 1900s was complex and multifaceted. They were highly trained entertainers who provided a range of services, including music, dance, and conversation, to their clients. Their social position was both respected and controversial, as they were considered to be both artists and courtesans. The garden setting in the photograph is formal and ornamental, with carefully tended plants and meticulously designed features. It provides a serene and picturesque backdrop to the lively game being played by the Geisha girls. The contrast between the stillness of the garden and the movement and energy of the game adds to the visual interest and appeal of the image. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Japan during the early 20th century, providing a unique insight into the lives of these enigmatic and intriguing figures. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of Japanese traditions and the beauty and elegance of Geisha culture.
