The serene Orient

We all live stress-filled lives. All those labour saving devices just mean we are able to try and cram even more things into them. Its not surprising therefore that more and more of us are attracted to the serene simplicity of oriental art. Here gorgeously clad ladies linger languidly under cherry trees, play musical instruments or take part in the disciplined artistry of the tea ceremony. There is apparently nothing intruding upon the peace of these ordered lives.

The inspiration for the designs on this web site came from Japanese prints of the eighteenth century. The ladies portrayed there are not necessarily geisha but it is the geisha in modern day Japan who have retained this archaic form of dress including the various forms of elaborate hair styles and the pale makeup as their working dress.
