As we delve into different cultures from around the world, today we showcase some extremely seductive digital art influenced by the ever so mysterious Geisha girls.
Showcasing some absolutely stunning kimono pattern designs the artists have gone one extra step in detail.
More information about Geisha’s.
Geisha (pronounced /ˈɡeʃə/), like all Japanese nouns, has no distinct singular or plural variants. The word consists of two kanji, 芸 (gei) meaning “art” and 者 (sha) meaning “person” or “doer”.
The most literal translation of geisha into English would be “artist” or “performing artist”. Another name for geisha used in Japan is geiko, which is usually used to refer to geisha from Western Japan, including Kyoto…. -Wikipedia

Wait a minute. Some of these Geisha’s look a little too European. I guess freedom of expression is good in art, but sometimes tweaking it makes it loose it’s originality.
