| Description: |
Background to the Channel 4 Millennium Series ‘The Day the World Took Off’, shown in 2000. With thanks to Windfall Films. We see the elaborate application of whitener to the face and neck of a young trainee 'geisha' (maiko). The colouring of the rest of the face is followed by the dressing in robes and exit into the street. |
