The tayu held the highest rank in Kyoto’s Shimabara — celebrated not only for beauty, but as a cultured figure versed in waka poetry, calligraphy, tea and incense. The skin is smoothed with white makeup, the hair set in a half-wig (Yoshino-mage), and an uchikake robe layered over the kakeshita underrobe. With each layer of dress, your bearing naturally grows more composed. In the soft light through the shoji and the glow of an andon lantern, we capture that very presence in a single frame.
Dressing, makeup, the photo shoot and retouched data — everything is included.
