Two Geikos and a Maiko

This was a historically based illustration, done in ink nibs. The Japanese on the top corner says "geiko" which is the japanese term for Geisha.

A LOT of research was involved in the creation of this piece, including reading Iwasaki Mineko's "Geisha: A Life"

I am very thankful for the many lovely shots of authentic geishas here on flickr, they helped me in the creation of this piece as well.
