Just to remind you of what they looked like, some pictures:

What were the Guishas about, actually? I never really understood why people were dressed up like that.

The feature will be about why and how people think art is a way forward in changing the world (why dressing like Geisha's makes a difference). Check it out to find out more... the article will be published later on in the week.

Remember Japanese War Crimes
You can't "balance" war crimes

The Japanese government has apologised for the atrocities committed by it's army in the second world war and has paid some reparations. You can say (and you'd be right) that the apology and reparation aren't enough - but the USA has never apologised or made reparation for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They view them as being morally right, a stance the Japanese government does not take over the war crimes commited by ITS armed forces. And THAT, as much as anything else, is why the signes read "Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Never Again"
