Descrizione
A superb documentary-style book about the lowest class of Geisha in Japan. Onsen Geisha are those who make a living in one of the numerous hot springs in Japan, having fallen out of favour in one way or another, (or who were never quite up there in the first place).

The stark black and white images chillingly convey the sadness of their existence, made all the more peculiar by the veneer of tradition
