Description
"Tokyo Geisha" is an original cubist mixed media painting on canvas © 2023 ChrisArmytage™, Photographic Artist, Australia.
Tokyo has six geisha districts, including Kagurazaka, Akasaka, Asakusa, Mukojima, Yoshicho and Shimbashi.
Tokyo is said to be the birthplace of geisha culture. The first female geisha in Japan was based in the Fukagawa district in Tokyo.
As the modern capital city of Japan, Tokyo has seen a lot of change, especially when it comes to the presence of geisha and maiko.
After WWII, many geisha districts and other parts of the cities were in decline.
This has changed only since the year 2000 when the city and Tokyo prefecture started to invest more in traditional Japanese heritage.
