There has been a widely growing popularity of Japanese and oriental style throughout the world since several years back. Perhaps it is the simple elegance or the understated, muted colours combined with high contrast designs, or perhaps it is just the fascination that much of the western world has developed with the historical traditions and culture of the orient, either way, this cool design is based on the very popular Japanese style. Featuring two geisha girls that are interconnected at the bottom of the graphic, this design makes use of the subtle colouration and muted tones that highlight the pale faces of the girls and draw your eyes to their bright red lips. The two main colour tones that are contained in this design are a dull green and a deep purple. Both geishas are dressed primarily in one colour, while the other one serves as an accent tone. This means that the design quite subtly but also quite effectively mimics that of the Yin and Yang. It forces the eye to see that although the left geisha is wearing green, her robes also contain a bit of purple, while the right geisha, though her attire is mostly purple, still has a smattering of green as well. This dualism is something that you see frequently in Japanese art and culture. Japanese and oriental philosophy stresses harmony and balance, but not just of the larger forces of good and evil, male and female, and light and dark. Their philosophy stresses the balance of a person within themselves. A man must contain some sort of female elements within his being, or his mind, body, and spirit will be out of balance. This design is a great example of how this principle of duality and balance functions in art. It is a very trendy and popular concept these days, and that makes this graphic a unique and cool design. Not only does this design stress internal harmony, it also makes a statement for the harmony between humans and the natural world. In the design, the geishas seem to be sitting above two bare trees, and flowers are blooming on both sides of the figures. These indicate the idea that people must be in tune with themselves and in tune with the world around them in order to lead a rewarding and positively balanced life.
