Attire Fabric Fight Fists Geisha Geishas Mock Outfit Scissors Tradition Balled
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the playful spirit of two geisha girls in traditional Japanese attire, circa 1910s. The image presents a delightful scene of merriment and camaraderie, as the geishas appear to engage in a mock fight or possibly play a traditional Japanese game. The geisha on the left dons an elegant kimono adorned with intricate floral patterns, her hair styled in an ornate updo. Her expression is fierce and determined, as she balled her fists, ready for a playful bout. Her companion, dressed in a similar yet subtly different kimono, mirrors her playful demeanor, her hands forming a scissors shape, suggesting the possibility of the ancient Japanese game of 'jankenpon,' or scissors-paper-rock. The rich fabrics and vibrant colors of their costumes showcase the beauty and intricacy of traditional Japanese attire. The geishas' outfits are a testament to the enduring allure of Japanese culture and its deep-rooted traditions. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these enigmatic figures, revealing a lighter, more playful side to their existence. It is a reminder that even in the most formal and traditional settings, there is always room for laughter, fun, and the simple joys of play.
