Summary:

 A digital album of more than 100 old postcards, photos & antuque prints of Japanese geisha girls.

Charming and fascinating portraits, many in early hand-tinted color, of these beautiful, traditional oriental hostesses in colorful kimonos. The role of the geisha is often misunderstood. Erotic, risqué, some semi-nude... Tea ceremonies, bathing scenes, tending gardens, playing music, smoking opium.... as well as pictures hinting at these women's role as high-class courtesans or prostitutes. Haunting images from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, depicting a pre-industrial lifestyle that has largely disappeared in modern Japan.

(A PDF-format, illustrated ebook / slideshow for Acrobat Reader. Includes optional rolling slideshow functionality and random transition effects between images.) Great alternative to a screensaver!
