Shinbashi Geigi 1870s. Two Shinbashi geigi (geisha) enacting a scene from the Kabuki play “Meido no Hikyaku” (Courier for Hell), about tragic lovers, Umegawa, a low-ranking courtesan, and Chūbei, a courier who steals money in order to buy her freedom. In some versions the couple are captured and killed, and in others they commit suicide.  Another carte-de-visite from the same period, shows a woman wearing an almost identical odori costume, named as a geigi from the Shinbashi geisha district in Tokyo.  Text and image via Blue Ruin 1 on Flickr
