Enchanting Beauty Of Tokyo 100 Years Ago
Memories of a geisha: Stunning images reveal the delicate beauty of the woman who enchanted Tokyo 100 years ago
The beauty of one of Tokyo's most
popular geisha has been preserved in a series of stunning postcards
taken more than a century ago. The
collection of images shows Hawaryu, who worked in the Japanese capital
at the beginning of the 20th century, posing in a variety of elaborate
kimono with her hair pinned in traditional style. Her
porcelain skin and doll-like features have captured the imagination of
internet users who have shared the pictures hundreds of times since they
were posted.
