Beautiful Imposters　ニセモノ舞妓さん
Another shot of two tourists dressed as maiko, or apprentice geisha, sight seeing in Kyoto. Kiyomizu Temple. Many of the photos of "geisha" that tourists get while visiting Kyoto are actually of Japanese tourists playing dress up for the day. There are dozens of studios ready to transform even the most western-looking woman into the ideal of Japanese beauty for anywhere between $60-300, depending on the package. Many packages allow you to walk around outside the studios for a period of time to get the perfect photo momento of your trip to the ancient capital.

ДОМОВОЙ: НЕИЗВЕСТНЫЙ ЮКИО МИСИМА

АЛЕКСАНДР ФАДИН. НЕИЗВЕСТНЫЙ МИСИМА.

ДОМОВОЙ,N4,апрель, 2003 года, cтр.16

В издательстве "Рипол Классик" вышла книга Юкио Мисимы "Веер в залог любви". И хотя харизматический безумец, вдохновенный самоубийца и гениальный прозаик Мисима знаком читателю давно, книга наверняка станет открытием. Потому что представляет Мисиму-драматурга. "Веер в залог любви" - сборник пьес. Причем пьес-масок, созданных в стиле средневекового японского театра ноо. Но на современном скандальному гению материале. Именно этот литературный подвиг - воскрешение угасшего классического искусства ноо - посвященные считают едва ли не главным вкладом Юкио Мисимы в мировую культуру... А нам приятно отметить блестящую работу одной из этих посвященных - друга и автора нашего журнала Татьяны Юрковой, переводчицы и составителя сборника.
