Yoshio Honjo‘s latest exhibition Goraku no jikan (Time to free the human mind from work and engage in pleasure and entertainment) explores a day in the life of geishas in the contemporary world—living a life free from work and ceremony.

The precise and delicate rendering of ink on handmade Washi paper is that of a modern master. With these works, Honjo transcends time and social strata to celebrate the tradition of the iconic entertainers.
