CRIMSON-GLOSS GEISHA "BENITSUYA"

CRIMSON-GLOSS GEISHA "BENITSUYA" Tadashi Harada

Crimson shadows gleam—gloss becomes a blade, echoing the elegance and tension of the geisha.

A vision of geisha reimagined as a crimson architectural form, where lacquered black surfaces and flashes of gold dissolve the quiet drama of the teahouse into modern abstraction. This composition merges heritage with avant-garde artistry, transforming traditional elegance into sculptural expression.

Crimson becomes structure, lacquered black and golden sparks refract the restrained elegance of the teahouse. In this work, geisha’s iconic presence is elevated into a bold, architectural silhouette—a silent dialogue between centuries-old tradition and contemporary design.

Hair blooms into a sculptural knot, kanzashi pins radiating poised tension.
Makeup frames porcelain skin with a single stroke of deep red—an afterglow of restrained allure.
