Description / Inspiration

A fluttering beauty dreaming of the future, Madame Butterfly is a love story that reaches across cultures, oceans, time. A symbol of Japan’s culture and tradition, Geisha are Japanese women who entertain through performing the ancient traditions of art, dance and singing, and are distinctively characterized by their wearing of kimono and oshiroi makeup.
