Books like Arthur Golden's "Memoirs of a Geisha" have signaled the
current fascination with the discreetly private side of Japan
during the evocative age of dynasties and imperial rule. "Ariake,"
a stunning gift book, offers up the passionate words of the elegant
and cultured female courtesans of ancient Japan. It was customary
in the late 1st and early 2nd century Japanese courts for women to
express their hearts' greatest desires and sorrows through poetry.
Translated and compiled in "Ariake," these lyrical and poignant
verses of seduction, love, and lament are both simple and
extraordinary. Illustrated throughout with gorgeous collages that
evoke the color, fabric, and textures of the East, "Ariake" brings
to life the subtle eloquence of ancient Japan and the universal
passions and torments of love. "Ariake" is an exquisite and
timeless volume of the heart's longing.
