From Geisha to Diva: the Kimonos of Ichimaru July 6, 2007

Ichimaru was born into a poor family and became a geisha in the 1920s and early 1930s. She gained a reputation as an elegant and beautiful Geisha who possessed a "nightingale-like voice." The kimonos in this exhibition reflect her taste from the 1930s to the 1970s.
