She argues that in the West, Japanese women have come to embody certain ideas about feminine sexuality, and she analyses how these ideas have been expressed in diverse art forms, ranging from fiction and opera to the visual arts and music videos. Among the many works Kawaguchi discusses are the art criticism of Baudelaire and Huysmans, the opera Madama Butterfly, the sculptures of Rodin, the Broadway play Teahouse of the August Moon, and the international bestseller Memoirs of a Geisha. Butterfly's Sisters also examines the impact on early twentieth-century theatre, drama and dance theory of the performance styles of the actresses Madame Hanako and Sadayakko, both formerly geishas."--Book jacket. 000437889 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000437889 650_0 $$aGeishas$$xHistory. 000437889 650_0 $$aCivilization, Western. 000437889 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKawaguchi, Yoko.$$tButterfly's sisters.$$dNew Haven : Yale University Press, c2010$$z9780300115215$$w(DLC) 2010017516$$w(OCoLC)150348454 000437889 8520_ $$bacq 000437889 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000437889 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=446850$$zOnline Access 000437889 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:437889$$pGLOBAL_SET 000437889 980__ $$aEBOOK 000437889 980__ $$aBIB 000437889 982__ $$aEbook 000437889 983__ $$aOnline 000437889 994__ $$a92$$bISE
