Geisha: A Unique World of Tradition, Elegance and Art
by John Gallagher (Author), Wayne Reynolds (Illustrator)
From the dust jacket:
Take a fascinating peek into the geisha's world of tradition and ritual with the
help of a most unique book. Four see-through vellum sections, of four layers
each, begin with a "naked" geisha; they show, stage by stage, how her
distinctive costume and make-up are assembled. You'll view the subtle changes
of appearance through the round of seasonal events, and the elaborate array of
equipment in the geisha's wardrobe, as well as everything she needs to do her
demanding jobs. Equally revealing is the incredibly detailed information about
the women's training, lives, and history.
