Shinigami Geisha

About Shinigami Geisha

Here we see a Shinigami Geisha in a traditional Kabuki Theater. She is holding a three-stringed “Shamisen Lute”. Kabuki is over four centuries old. A point often overlooked is that it has its origins in erotic street ritual, finally developing in teahouses found in the red light districts of the Edo period. It has now evolved a long way, becoming the most popular form of traditional theatre in Japan.

Material

This postcard is from around 1990. All cards mounted on white 250 g/m² paper with trimmed edges. Vintage postcard, overpainted with acrylic paint, 13.6 x 8.6 cm, no frame. Signed and dated in pencil on back. This can be easily erased in the event you want to use the card.

The cards are packaged in cellophane with an informative text about the history of the image on each card and when it was first published.

Please note that since these are antique postcards, some might contain small tears, pinholes and/or scratches. Fleshy tries her best to lovingly craft each card, but sometimes a tear might be too close to the overall subject to cut it out. The actual colors might differ slightly from your monitor.

Every postcard is a small, unique work of art!

Delivery throughout Europe and overseas is with normal postal mail in cardboard envelopes so nothing should bend. Postage and packaging are calculated at checkout.
