Geisha On a Jade Green Couch
The subject is a young geisha who reclines casually on a green sofa. Usually the attire of these ladies was (and still is) fantastically complex; but here our geisha wears only a simple pink wrap of gauze-like fabric. She is probably off duty now, enjoying a rare moment of privacy and relaxation. It must feel good, after hours of careful posturing and ceremony, to slump across the furniture and daydream.
In her dark brown eyes, we see intelligence and deep concentration. What is she thinking about? It would be intrusive to ask, and her culture discourages the casual exchange of personal thoughts and opinions: Unlike most of us noisy westerners, the ancient Japanese placed enormous value on silence and discretion.
So let's just let her rest for a bit, shall we?
