Two windows, with a long dingy mirror set between them, looked out towards the Euston Road. Venetian blinds and thin white curtains looped with yellow ribbon shrouded them. On a slab that stuck out under the mirror was placed a bundle of curling-pins tied with white tape, a small brush and comb, and a bottle of cherry-blossom scent. Near the mirror stood a narrow sofa covered with red rep.
The little cottage gardens and higher orchards were smothered in the snow of plum and cherry-blossom, primroses carpeted the woods which crowned the heights of the hills, and the long dark spikes of bluebells, ready to bud and blossom, thrust themselves through the masses of last year's dead leaves, side by side with the uncurling fronds of the bracken and fern.
I left Japan, as I have said, just before the cherry-blossom festivities began, but I was able to see a number of the dances which never change but are passed with exactitude, step for step, gesture for gesture and expression for expression, from one geisha to another as performed by a child who was being educated for the profession.
