Click to view Geisha

Knopf


The geisha districts of Kyoto present a blank face to the world. Seamless rows of aged wooden facades, tiny two-story houses whose bamboo shades blind the windows, block any glimpse inside. The world of geisha does not give up it's secrets easily.It is a formidable barrier for a photographer to penetrate, but penetrate, Jodi Cobb does. Geisha contains remarkable images and text from the first photoghrapher allowed into the private world of the geisha. This is truly facinating.
