ayu style/song inspiration - teddy bear
When I woke up, I found
by my pillow a teddy bear…
in place of you.
This is a really cute idea for a tumblr.
- Japan and China are different countries
- Not every woman in a kimono is a geisha.
- And before you ask, no, geisha are not prostitutes. This is a myth that emerged out of the fact that geisha are both secretive and expensive; most producers of popular culture have neither the money nor the education to afford a geisha. Without access, writers and artists just make up something salacious to keep the audience interested. Now that the myth is so pervasive, even culture producers who do have access to the geisha lifestyle make up a bunch of misogynistic bullshit to meet audience expectations. Isn’t that right, Arthur Golden?
