Geisha Breakdancing

posted by John Spacey, Japan Talk, November 12, 2011

Photography really took off in Japan in the late nineteenth century. What did they take photos of? Many of the photos that have survived are of Geisha.

Geisha photos from this period are both candid and staged. They're a far cry from modern photos of geisha.

Many seem to defy explanation — mysteries lost to history.

Hello, I am interested in finding a penpal from Japan. I am into art and currently working on having a comic book published. I am fun - loving and easy to talk to. I am trying to teach myself Japanese and would be happy to help you to learn English! Let's talk and have fun! - Lauren AKA Bunny

I just registered and I have never done anything like this before but I have always thought that it would be fun to have a penpal from another country.

Angela
Hello! こんにちはみなさん。As you can clearly read my Japanese is bad. I only know some basic stuff. Not even enough to get by when I'm going to visit Japan next year. I'm a mixed girl. Mom's Japanese and dad's African American. I hope I'll be able to make some nice friends here. Someone who's willing to show me around in Japan next spring. Show me the best shops (I've always wanted to visit the Shibuya 109 and shop until I drop), the nicest Japanese restaurants, the cherryblossom and so on.I'm a hairdresser so if you need a haircut or new hair color just ask (a chonmage however is a bit too hard to do ;D) .What should I tell you about myself? I love to cook and eat. Playing videogames is nice too. Especially Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii. Hmm I think the best is to send me an email and ask me more if you're interested. ;)
