#1 Geisha no Kodougu / Geisha accessories:
During the Edo period, women who honed their skills in arts such as singing and dancing entertained guests at banquets. Many of the tools that supported geisha culture were handcrafted masterpieces by artisans, including musical instruments, ornaments, makeup tools, and daily necessities, with meticulous attention to detail, enhancing the beauty and elegance of the geisha. These artisanal techniques have been passed down to the present day as traditional crafts.
