The ones with the bows tied in the front that were made PRE WWII were representing protitute Geishas, the first real life Geishas in the plays were males with the bows in back. The female real life Geishas with the bows in front could get undressed without help thats why it was like that...just a little knowledge for those that didn't know. Had to take an Asian Art History class in college.

I picked this up with other Asian items, like a Japanease Vase, a Woodblock print I auctioned off already and an silk embroidery airbrush painting. I Like Asian items. I have beautiful twin silk embroidery Pandas that I'm contemplating on auctioning off, Just not sure yet.
When I startted to look up info., I saw a few on some websites that gave some info. They are truly neat collectible items. I just don't really collect them.. They were in with other asian items that were given to me from someones estate.
However if you find out something, please share with us. ;-)
