Notes: A fabulous piece depicting the area of Gion Shinbashi - Kyoto’s famous entertainment & geisha district. Filled with restaurants, teahouses, antiques, & beautiful machiya townhouses; geisha (芸者) & maiko (舞妓) dressed in kimono continue to entertain & serve patrons with traditional performance. Konishi’s image captures this air - a geisha/maiko strolling down the famous cobble-stoned street of Shinbashi-dori (新橋通).
