Description

Explore the deep connection between musical art and the identity of the Japanese geisha. While many books discuss the geisha as a symbol of traditional Japan, "The Gei of Geisha: Music, Identity and Meaning" is the first work to focus specifically on the "gei" or fine art that defines their title. Author Kelly M. Foreman combines historical research with ethnomusicological field research to provide a unique perspective. This study includes direct observations and the performance of the shamisen among geisha in Tokyo. The book explains how musical art is a fundamental part of a geisha's identity rather than just a secondary feature. This text provides a necessary look at how these musical traditions shape the role and meaning of the geisha in a modern context.
