American Perception of Japanese Women - 1932

It was the damned tables and chairs that corrupted them. Before that, every affluent Japanese family kept three kimono-clad geishas locked in a shed on their property, releasing them once each day for an exercise walk as seen at the beginning of this video. These captive geishas traditionally subsisted entirely on mushrooms gathered during their walks. And if you believe me, then you probably also believe the mythology presented in this video!

It's very interesting ! When I was a child, I lived also in a room with Western table and chairs on a tatami, coverd with a carpet. The Japanese like a mixed culture. And how pretty these women are !

My god does this clip generalize these people! I'm happy that we have a better understanding of Japan now. I mean. . . seriously?

Uploader, stop stupid demagogue.
They are ordinary women, not geishas. Geishas set their hair style traditional, but these women's hair style is modern. Japanese women wore kimonos even in 1930 on daily basis.
