| I have been very upset to find the internet resources devoted to Geisha are very limited, which is why I have built this page. Most of the following pages are only useful if you are looking for graphics or very basic information. Beyond this I suggest you buy a book devoted to the Geisha in order to access deeper information. Koito-san's webpage does provide a fascinating insight however and I highly recommend it. I will more than happily accept any additional links if you care to email me with any further URLs, also broken link reports are welcome. Hakone Geisha Organisation After Koito-san paved the way more members of the Hanamachi are branching into cyberspace Koito-san's webpage (contemporary Geisha) Japanese Mail Magazine's Geisha Gallery Japanese Ukiyo-e museum of Nagoya TV Possibly the best online Ukiyo-e Exhibit I've ever seen, Nagoya TV bought the print collection of Yijima and given is a selection of astounding and often very famous prints (Japanese and English) Geisha and Maiko of Japan (Frantisek Staud's beautiful photographs) Immortal Geisha Naomi's exquisite site, well researched and highly recommended Geisha:
