Don't let the suggested age for this book throw you - a person of any age would enjoy coloring these Japanese drawings. This delightful little coloring book has 16 beautiful transparent plates of geishas (reading, dancing, playing instruments, etc.) that can be colored with any medium and then placed over a lamp or window to give the illusion of stained glass. My only wish is that there were more pictures.

This coloring book, as well as other stained-glass coloring books from Dover, is suitable for all ages, including adults. In fact, the books would be wasted on young children. All of them are especially beautiful when colored with the deepest shades of markers, and particularly when viewed from the back.

This Geisha coloring book was a big hit with a highly educated young woman of 16 for Christmas. I called a week after, and she had four or five of the images hung in her window; she had very much enjoyed the gift.

I enjoy coloring- it's even been recommended by my Dr. for a calming distraction for pain control.
The velum paper is nice- it accepts markers well. But it can smear a tad if you touch it too soon after coloring a section. I didn't like the look of crayons on the velum though. Not rich enough color saturation.
Very detailed drawings. Kimono have great designs that turn out very colorful in the end. Looks great hung in windows- the translucence of the velum really makes it look like stained glass.

If you are looking for a coloring book, this isn't it. The picutres are beautiful and will look fantastic on top of colored paper and then framed for original inexpensive oriental decorating.

Not what I was looking for, however, I am greatly happy with this purchase.
