Taishō and Meiji era swimsuit ladies

Racy. Saucy. Completely gratuitous. But not really. These are the bathing suit girls of Japan circa Taishō and Meiji eras (late 19th century and early 20th century). These images, apparently of Geishas and Maikos (Geishas in training) stripped of their recognisable kimonos, wearing swimsuits and lounging around are from a fabulous flickr set we found; it's all pastel-coloured sweetness

See the rest at flickr.com.
