Featured large Jap lacquer box c/b10

I didn't say that. And of course I know they were cultured women etc, I have posted that many times before on the forums. Just like I have posted on the way geisha's wear their kimono many times before.

My remark was on the way the kimono was worn and only that, you can read it here:

I didn't change anything in the quote, you can read it back in post #16.
The back of a geisha's kimono was was worn low because women's necks were considered sexually attractive. A high neckline was considered 'decent'.
That was Japanese culture of the day, not my judgement. Personally I quite like evening dresses with some of the neck and upper back showing, and have worn them on occasion.
Fact is that a geisha's job was to attract and entertain, even 'enchant' men. One of the ways to achieve that was the way they dressed.

I didn't call you nor anyone else here by any name and resent that you claim that I did. I wasn't even aware you had a different opinion. I thought you simply wanted to know how to tell the difference between a geisha and a regular Japanese woman. I obliged, even though I have posted it many times before. I don't expect people to read and remember everything I post and don't mind repeating it, for information's sake.

I am not too happy that you twist my words in several ways, that is totally unnecessary. Everyone can read what I wrote, and see that I didn't say any of the things you claim I did.
I don't know what your reasoning behind your misrepresentation and false accusation is. If it is because you have a previous issue with me, just put me on your 'ignore' list, but don't make things up to get back at me. Otherwise, just read what I actually wrote and comment truthfully on that, if you like.

 

Charlie, I am sorry this happened in your thread. You don't deserve this.

 

if the box and hinges are in that bad shape Charlie, save the lid, frame it and hang it on a wall.

after shammie mentioned about that, i actually thought what a good idea that would be buddy

the depth of it might make it hard to frame, but not impossible

 

Wow. Why in the world you would assume that some Americans are suggesting that their items are decorated with Geisha because they believe "Asian woman only have one role in life...etc"? I doubt that much thought is going into it. They just want to sell their stuff.
I didn't twist your words. I've had nothing against you in the past. We are obviously speaking two different languages.
