Geisha (Dover Postcards)

These beguiling portraits of old-time Japanese courtesans are drawn from the ukiyo-e, woodblock prints of the "floating world" of fashion, entertainment, and sensual pleasures. Twelve colorful postcards depict demure and flamboyant geishas, faces pale under their elaborate coiffures, all splendidly arrayed in traditional costumes. The easily detached cards retain their crisp edges.
