- W2435558532 abstract "This dissertation investigates the aesthetic concept of iroke (roughly, sexiness or eroticism, but literally, the love-sex atmosphere) through the performing arts practiced by geisha: kouta (small songs) and koutaburi (dance of small songs). Historically, the geisha—female performing artists—came into existence by separating the arts (gei) from sex (iro). However, since they closely worked within the vicinity of theatres and pleasure quarters, they have been misinterpreted as sex workers rather than accomplished multi-talented artists. By studying kouta and koutaburi under two former geisha, Kasuga Toyo Seiyoshi and Asaji Yoshie, I found that such misconceptions are deeply rooted in what geisha embody and express through their arts— iroke. Drawing on my own experiences of geisha arts and through detailed analyses, I illustrate the expressions of iroke in kouta and koutaburi performances and delineate the nature of iroke aesthetics. By mastering iroke and performing arts associated with iroke, the geisha were able to pioneer a new field of performing arts as preservers, teachers, and headmasters. Positioning geisha arts and aesthetics at the core, I explore the meaning and value of arts as well as geisha’s raison d’etre in the modern Japan." @default.
