The Geisha – Evolution in Current Japan (Looking to the East)
Explore the world of Japanese Geisha. The host for this episode is Stephen Zurcher. The guest for this episode is Arif Iqball.
Models to Picasso and Rodin, entertainers to royalty, yet the Geisha have often been misinterpreted outside Japan and have shaped stereotypes about Japanese women. Closed in secrecy, not many outsiders have access to this world which has its own rules and etiquette with very little documentation. This show will examines the primary role of the Geisha in Japan as an artist and an entertainer encompassing a variety of important social, cultural, and historical elements and attempts to correctly place these artists in Japanese culture, and in a traditional world which runs parallel and yet is completely different than the modern Japanese world of manga, anime, and robots.
