Robin Yong, Karyukai (Travel 2020)

Karyukai - the very secretive flower and willow world of the Japanese Geishas. Each Geisha is like a flower, beautiful in her own way, and like a willow tree, gracious, flexible and strong. For many locals, even those living in Kyoto, the closest they have come is perhaps glimpsing a Geisha alighting from taxis and quickly disappearing behind a nameless sliding door.
