The Mystery of a Geisha

From the OUT OF THE ORIENT collection
The Golden Geisha

(Fine Art Offset Lithograph Print: 28" x 20")

Golden kimono
a mystical illumination
in the evening's attempt to
burn off the scorching daylight hours
an oil spill of colours painted on a canvas sky

.
Floating
her body drifts through
trees with whispering branches
as if she were riding the leisurely current of a stream

.
She moves as a geisha must with elegance and grace
an entertainer, an icon of mystery
contemplating her affairs
dreaming

.
Keeper of secrets that slip like silk through her ears
a woman whose emotions must always be
wrapped in layers like her skin
swathed neatly in a
golden kimono

.

.

Note: All OUT OF THE ORIENT prints purchased include a complimentary copy of Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha.

Prints have made Jaq's artwork more accessible, especially to her younger audience who are often looking to decorate the walls of a new flat.

The OUT OF THE ORIENT collection is meant to reflect the Japanese values of serenity and meditation to set off a calm aura in a room.
