It's encouraging that the younger generation is open-minded to learning about other cultures rather than looking through the lens of WWII. This is a charming video about traditional Japanese beauty customs. 🇺🇸❤🇯🇵👘💄

Does anyone here know where's the music piece of this clip from? It's really great.

Is the audio added to the footage?

Perfection 😍

Painting the face white is evidence of traditional makeup. This makeup was created at a time when there was no electricity. At that time, candles were the main source of lighting. Since candlelight is orange, the skin looks more even and beautiful when painted white. There is a stage performance that Tamasaburo Bando did using only candle lighting, and you can see the synergy between fire and traditional makeup in that performance.

I saw a few walking in Kyoto one time when I visited Japan. (the inset images ruin the end of the video)

Чопорные и фальшивые .🤔

What’s the name of this song?

私は日本の文化が好きです。👘💕🌸

I love Geishas. They are beautiful and talented. And now they will live forever through this video.

Madonna nothing really matters

When you’re tanned, you want to look white, and when you’re white, you want to look tanned.

It's hard to believe that they considered this as beautiful.

These dresses 👗 are just gorgeous

terrifying women

I honestly thought Geishas were supposed to be pretty???! These women are absolutely homely!!!! I am honestly SHOCKED.

It’s interesting how they paint their lips to look smaller…

Ngl the background music kinda fire

Thank you 👏🏻

I would be scared in their presence.

ewwwwww

Awesome

Scary 😲

Someone recognizing their grandma be like:
Grandma was selling her what........? To what......?

I always wonder if they will ever find film from say the Roman period. You never know.

Those are 2 Geiko (Geisha is in Tokyo) and of course a Maiko. The are strolling around in the Garden of the Silver Pavillion (Ginkaku-ji). You can see distinctly the Silver cone (Kogetsudai) symbolizing the Mount Fuji. The women are on the little bridge overlooking the famous Moss Garden. It is truly magnificent, and I recommend everyone to visit this place when they are in Kyoto.

1946

"It's sobering to imagine a world and a time when the fates of hundreds of thousands of civilians were considered with such cold blooded calculation. Kyoto was spared the horror of a nuclear blast". Japan had no regard for civilians at that time, except its own. Japanese troops routinely killed American, Filipino, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese civilians including woman and children.

Geishas have always been depicted as beautiful delicate featured women....I see they were not in reality.

Is this what they do all day?

Why did they stop dressing like that?
I know they still do but only in special occasions

Still too much polluted from atomic bomb.
原爆被害はまだまだこれから先も呪われたがごとく、ひどいです。

What's the beautiful song?

Only one year after a devastating war, young Japanese girls looked happy and cheerful. Women could always adapt themselves to new circumstances even if they are very hard.

Kebayang klo pas kebelet pipis gmn repotnya

Plain Jane's

beautiful women

This is cool!!! Have you posted or do you know of videos that capture African Americans of the turn of the century?? Its so nice to see other races and cultures shown in the past!

They are looking like a ghost 👻 with the white face 🤣🤣

"Stay out of my room. Your fingers smell. I can't have you touching my things."

Thank you for this video! However,
Please adjust your description for accurate "takeaway": Your description is a form of revisionist history, and is damaging. You have left out WHY the US would drop a bomb on Kyoto, which thankfully it didn't come to that, as it did in Pearl Harbor and for the over 6 million Chinese murdered by the Japanese gov't. Negotiations would NOT stop Hitler and they didn't stop the Japanese from murdering our 2400 soldiers in Pearl Harbor. If you are going to mention that we considered an attack at least inclucde WHY!
By leavin the info to look like the US was going to bomb them (for no apparent reason?) you are doing damage just as most public schools in America have done to demonize our amazing country.
My family loves Japan and I love this video- we have traveled there and it is the language my son chose to study in depth...but even Japanese Americans understand WHY America was at war with Japan.

きれい

love how different the fashion is. i wish we retained some of that diversity in fashion now, everything is becoming too similar the world over. i like how they still wear traditional clothes for special occasions/festivals in japan though. we should do that in europe too.

These beautiful ladies look too relaxed for Japan of 1946. I understand it's staged, but still... 🙄
