Vintage sculpture of a geisha in a traditional kimono. Patinated bronze. Asia, the twentieth century. The image of the geisha began to be reflected in art during the Edo period, the 18th and 19th centuries. and it became one of the iconic symbols of Japan, a reflection of its cultural code. Bronze as a material makes it possible to perpetuate the era of men (kabuki actors), then women who learned the fine craft of adding aesthetics and something new to the lives of bored rich aristocrats. The sculpture reflects the traditional kimono of a woman, a fan, a tassel in her hand, and the details of her hairstyle. Here, the woman's face is serious, without a certain facial expression, but the true meaning of refinement, conciseness, the mysteries of the world of culture, grace and beauty, which geisha brought to the world, is laid. Sculptures of this type were created to decorate living rooms, tea houses and offices, and then became collectibles.
