Female Samurai, Geisha, Courtesans: The Hidden Lives of Japan's Glorious Women

by Shoshana Brickman

Combining stunning art with a fresh look at women's roles and their impact on Japanese history, this historical examination provides a new perspective on three types of Japanese women throughout history: samurai, geisha, and courtesan. While literature on Japan has primarily focused on the geisha figure, this volume takes an in-depth look at the lesser-known samurai and courtesan groups.
