opens Geisha and Hanami Contest
"You cannot say to the sun, <<More sun>>. Or to the rain, <<Less rain>>. To a man, geisha can only be half a wife. We are the wives of nightfall. And yet, to learn kindness after so much unkindness, to understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew, would find her prayers were answered, can that not be called happiness? After all these are not the memoirs of an empress, nor of a queen. These are memoirs of another kind." - Memoirs of a Geisha - Old SayuriAfter the Spring Festival, in the middle of Season of Flowers, I'd like to start collecting the most beautiful Deviations that honor the Women's Protagonists Japan together with Cherry (
Sakura) trees.
The Contest was inspired at this time of year and the famous Novel by Arthur Golden,
Memoirs of a Geisha, from which it was derived the film of the same name. I wish the participants to seize the essence of
Geisha and
Hanami (
"flower viewing", is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms or ume blossoms), celebrating as the
"femininity" of this event so important in Japanese culture and the one depicted in the
"Wives of Dusk".
The rules are simple:
-*- Respect the
theme of the Contest -*-
-*-
1 Deviation for participant -*-
-*- Do not accept Deviation created
before 21 March -*-
-*- Send a
note to
MargotYvy with the subject:
"Geisha Contest" with the
Link of Deviation,
Thumb and brief
description -*-
-*- I accept Deviations only coming into
Digital Art,

closed 1° July to 12:00 PM (Greenwich Time)
Currently, the only judge of Deviations participating, is me. Will be appreciated anyone will engage in this onerous task with me. In addition, extra prizes offered by the kind Artists are welcome .
