Ever since I read the novel Shogun by James Clavell I've been a little fascinated by the tradition of the Giesha. On the way home yesterday we stopped in Leederville where I spotted this gorgeous beauty in a cafe along Oxford St. I'm a little late for Monday Mural :) but couldn't resist anyway. If I'd had time I would have popped in and asked about the artist, but it was a quick click in passing which was a bit of a shame, would have liked to give a mention. Happy Friday, take care and stay safe...
You do find the best and most different shots and I love them, Grace!! I do hope you're ready for a great weekend!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThat book had the same effect on me, a long time ago...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Geisha!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs & So Dig That Layout
ReplyDeleteI like the way they have continued the image up along the ceiling, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI thought fan blades were mixed in with her hair in the first photo. The second makes it clear there are no blades.
ReplyDeleteAt first she reminded me of Medusa.
ReplyDeleteIndeed interesting and looks like a great place to meet friends and share coffee together.
ReplyDeleteI like the art work a lot but it might be a bit overpowering if you were seated underneath it!
ReplyDeleteAch! The pink side table is stealing the scene. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat book and wonderful mural Grace.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a place I would love to visit.
ReplyDeleteWow that is such a strong image, well spotted Grace..
ReplyDeleteI like how it is continued up onto the ceiling too. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteTres Belle

Looks like a cool little spot
ReplyDeleteNeat Giesha. Happy Friday and hope you have a great week end!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic mural! She fits in well in this coffee house.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how the mural continues into the ceiling. It seems that this geisha is watching over the coffee drinkers.
ReplyDeleteThose chairs in front look very comfortable to sit and nip. The Geisha painting is very well done.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting find Grace. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteCoffee and geishas? I don't understand the connection. Now Geishas and tea I get.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Grace! Oh, and these armchairs :-)
ReplyDeleteThey rather remind me of a cold winter day by a cozy fireplace, not really Perth!
Oooh love everything about this place
ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your very kind comments on my blog. Just for clarification, we don't live in The Villages, but about 30 miles north, in Ocala. We checked it out when we moved up this way from south Florida, but it was too much like "The Truman Show." We do enjoy going down there and "bumming" around and taking pictures, but do not wish to live there. :)
I love the Japan inspired art And the big chairs :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Loved Shogun. Good memories reading it and what I was living through at the time.
ReplyDeleteShe appears to be somewhat disapproving of the modern woman.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd find it scary to sit there drinking coffee beneath her head.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely image and I like the way the wrapped it on to the ceiling.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I read it, but I loved that book, too!
ReplyDeleteThat is not a book I have read. But, I am happy to goof off anywhere!
ReplyDeleteNice cafè! Arianna
