  • Inside the Secret World of the Geisha
    2019 Spring Semester Inside the Secret World of the Geisha Section 1 Instructor/Title Professor Arif Iqball 【Course Outline / Description】 Painted by Picasso, sculpted by Rodin, entertainers to Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and US Presidents, yet the role and image of the Japanese Geisha has often been misinterpreted outside Japan, and has shaped Western stereotypes about Japan and Japanese women. Being historically closed in a world of secrecy, not many Japanese either have been able to get access to this world with its own rules and etiquette, and with very little documentation. This course 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. Leveraging the instructor’s personal connections and research, a field trip to a seasonal dance performance, and conversations with current Geisha, as well as use of academic literature and visual documentation including historical photographs, documentaries and movie representations, this course attempts to provide a complete cultural experience to the Asian and Japanese Studies student on the true role and place of these artists in Japanese culture, and in a traditional world which runs parallel (and yet is completely different than) to the modern Japanese world of manga, anime, and robots. With emphasis on the Geisha of the five Kagai (performance districts) in Kyoto, this course not only explores the historical and cultural elements, but also introduces this relatively unknown and closed

  • Prolegomenon to Geisha As a Cultural Performer: Miyako Odori, the Gion School and Representation of a Traditional" Japan
    (159) Prolegomenon to Geisha as a Cultural Performer: Miyako Odori, The Gion School and Representation of a Traditional" Japan Manko Okada 1. Introduction In this paper, I would like to present an aspect of geisha that has been largely ignored in English literature. ′rhat is the geisha's professional identity as a "performer" of Japanese culture. ¶le common-run image of geisha is exotic, mysterious, and sexual, but is not sufficiently cultural. In the West, the image of geisha has been created through stage performances,丘Ims, and novels. Puccini's famous opera Madame Butterfly, John Huston's五Im The Barbarian and a Geisha (1958) and Jack Cardiff's My Geisha (1962) are the famous examples that have helped to formulate the image of geisha. People recognize geisha as a hostess who serves alcohol at banquets and entertains her guests with witty conversations and heart-warming care. Sometimes, a geisha is recognized as a high-class prostitute who seeks a chance to become a mistress of a wealthy man. I do not mean to say these images are incorrect, but I would like to emphasize that血ey alone cannot caphre the whole picture of a woman who works as a geisha. 2. Dominant Image of Geisha ¶lere is one example that has shown this strong bias. In 2001, an ex-geisha, Mineko Iwasaki sued the novelist Arthur Golden and the publishing company Alfred A. Knopf for defamation, breach of contract and copyright violation.1 Golden is the author of Memoirs of Geisha, which was the 1997 best-selling novel. Golden referred to Iwasaki in the acknowledgments as the most helpful informant for the novel.

Wanting to learn about different cultures, she left Kyoto where she’d been born and raised and flew to attend a school in New Zealand. In the lilting tones of the Kyoto dialect, Tomitsuyu explains why she chose to return to Japan and become a geiko after experiencing the world outside Japan. “There were many international students from various countries at the school I attended, including Germany, Brazil and China,” she recalls. “They all knew Tomitsuyu believes that being adaptable to the requirements of about their own countries very well, the moment is at the heart of true hospitality but I knew nothing about Japan. 14 highlighting japan “I was born in Kyoto, a city blessed with history and tradition, and knowing nothing about it embarrassed me,” she continues, “which made me interested in jobs related to Japanese traditions.

    TEXT TRANSLATIONS 1 5 6 7 4 3 1 2 PLAN OF THE GALLERY LIFE IN EDO X RUSSEL WONG IN KYOTO 1 Russel Wong in Kyoto Japan, particularly Kyoto, has always drawn and inspired local and international photographers. Russel Wong’s interest in photographing Kyoto and its geisha community began during a visit to Tokyo in 2005 to shoot publicity photographs for Watanabe Ken when he was starring in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005). Kyoto came up during their conversation and this rekindled Wong’s passion to dig deeper. The film received mixed reviews; mostly disapproval and disdain from the geisha community in Kyoto. Despite its controversies, the film has contributed in recent years to public perceptions of and curiosity about Japanese geisha (Kyoto dialect, geiko). Wong feels that perhaps his photographs can give the geiko community – which hardly speaks and is seldom seen – a voice for an international audience. Geiko community The geiko community in Kyoto is a closed group and the traditional system of ichigen- san okotowari, “turning away first-timers” still rules in most teahouses today. It took Wong five years to gain access to the geiko communities in all five kagai (geisha districts, also known as hanamachi) in Kyoto. Inspired by woodblock prints In making this body of work, Wong was inspired by Edo-period woodblock prints by Kitagawa Utamaro, Katsushika Hokusai, and Utagawa Hiroshige. He was particularly drawn to the compositions, how the elements of the image work together, and by the silhouettes and portraits of the women depicted in them. Wong’s photographs are infused with his own sense of nostalgia.

  • Radio Towers’（KOGA-BROWES）
    Kyoto City’s Public ‘Radio Towers’（KOGA-BROWES） Article Kyoto City’s Public ‘Radio Towers’ KOGA-BROWES, Scott Abstract This paper introduces Kyoto’s ‘radio towers’, a largely forgotten element of Japan’s early mass media history and a now scarce concrete reminder of the interpenetration of the pri- vate and state spheres characteristic of Japan in the 1930s and early 1940s. After a brief survey of the early development of radio broadcasting in Japan and the social, technological and political factors that fed into their conception, the paper presents a brief survey of the towers still known to be extant in Kyoto City. Attempts at preservation have been haphaz- ard but there seems to be a growing realisation that these often overlooked and sometimes misconstrued pieces of public heritage are worthy of the attention of both academics seeking to understand the intersection of radio, state and audience in 1930s Japan and of those with an interest in preserving their local history. Keywords: Radio broadcasting, radio towers, mass audiences, public media, prewar media history, Kyoto local history 1 Introductory Comments The successful establishment of a mixed public-private television broadcasting system in Japan in the years after World War Two can in part be traced to the promotional abilities of Shōriki Matsutaro, the leader of Nippon TV, Japan’s first commercial broadcaster. In order to introduce the new technology to the mass audience he understood to be a prerequisite for successful advertising-funded broadcasting, he set up ‘street-corner’ televisions (gaitō tere- bi) across Japan. These were placed in public squares near busy railway stations and other places where crowds could gather (Yoshimi, 2005).

  • Geisha Fever: Changes in the Traditional Entertainment Districts in Kyoto in Response to Excessive Attention from Western Tourists
    INTERCULTURAL RELATIONS ◦ RELACJE MIĘDZYKULTUROWE ◦ 2019 ◦ 2 (6) https://doi.org/10.12797/RM.02.2019.06.07 Magdalena Grela-Chen1 GEISHA FEVER: CHANGES IN THE TRADITIONAL ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS IN KYOTO IN RESPONSE TO EXCESSIVE ATTENTION FROM WESTERN TOURISTS Abstract In the popular discourse, geiko districts are described as places where tradition- al culture is preserved in a living form. Although this statement may be con- sidered as true, the geiko community is a part of Japanese society as a whole and does not exist in complete isolation. Being able to survive as guardians of the Japanese tradition, in the 21st century geiko are discovering new opportuni- ties, such as using new media to promote themselves in order to protect their lifestyle. However, outside world has forced them to change the way they man- age their business in the districts. By using their own Internet sites, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts to reach new customers, they display their daily routine, one in which traditional culture meets modern ideas. This paper shows the reception of usage of the Internet in traditional entertainment districts of Kyoto and the response of Western tourists to the geisha phenomenon. It ap- pears that overwhelming attention on the part of tourist industry, as well as commercialisation, are becoming a threat to the values which have cemented relationships between customers, geiko and teahouses owners. For instance, while during the so-called “geisha hunting”, tourists often try to take photo- graphs of them at all costs. Considering the aspects of geiko life and processes mentioned above it is worth analysing how the image of the geiko is perceived by Westerners.
