1932 Decorations Geisha Geishas Geta Kimono Kimonos Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Japan in 1932, showcases a group of six Geishas gracefully making their way down a street during the New Year celebrations. Dressed in their traditional kimonos, the Geishas exude elegance and refinement as they hold their skirts with their left hands, a customary gesture to prevent the hem from dragging in the mud or snow. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of their kimonos stand out against the winter landscape, while their getas (wooden clogs) leave distinctive prints on the cobblestones. The building in the background, adorned with New Year decorations, adds to the festive atmosphere of the scene. The red and white lanterns, symbolizing good fortune and happiness, hang from the roof, while the paper streamers flutter in the wind. This image provides a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of Japan during the 1930s. The Geishas' timeless beauty and grace continue to captivate us, making this photograph a true treasure for anyone interested in Japanese history and culture.
