  • GOSH! I'V HAD ENOUGH! We know, the movie wasn't that true. BUT, it was amazing and well thought out, the book is excellent but yet again; not all true. we KNOW Geisha's aren't prostitutes. The DRAWING is what matters. It's excellent; well done! (:

  • Who cares about the accuracy of the "geisha look" in this piece?
    Why not only enjoy the drawing itself?

    I personally think it looks really good

  • geisha never get payed for sex... ever.. they dont ever sleep with their clients. in memoirs they bid on a maiko's virginity; that never happened thats a myth, most of the time she had a danna or patron who would do the deed and it lasted several nights with egg yolks and each night he would put his fingers deeper into her thighs but in the 50's it was seen as immoral so all the mizuage or coming of age ceremony is now, a maiko wears a black kimono with a special hairstyle called the oshiyun

  • memoirs of a geisha is a terrible movie to get facts, read mineko iwasaki's "geisha a life" its a true story of a geisha this "geisha" looks like a chinese prostitute not like a geisha, geisha are elegant and charming; they changed the geisha/maiko look so it wouldnt scare american audiences from what a real maiko or geisha would really look like; they went hollywood style or in other words cheap, and screwed up like you did this picture; if ure so "into" asian culture do research about geisha

  • looks nothing like a geisha, more like diao chan from dynasty warriors. so... at least you can achieve the early chinese dynasty look. and you have Oiran hair pins in her hair.... maybe do some research before drawing another "Geisha"
