Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Clothes of Deception is a 1951 film from Japan directed by Kozaburo Yoshimura.It centers around two sisters in Kyoto. Kimicho (Machiko Kyo) is a geisha. But while she dresses in kimonos and does the whole deal with dancing and conversation, she is really a High-Class Call Girl, with multiple clients instead of one patron, and a hard-nosed attitude about getting the money up front. Her sister Taeko is representative of the modern Japanese woman, as she wears Western-style clothes and works in an office.Yet while Kimicho looks like old Japan and Takeo looks like forward-thinking, postwar Japan, the sisters tend to act like the reverse. Kimicho is scornful and disgusted when her mother Kiju, a far more traditional geisha, mortgages the house to bail her late patron Mr. Watanabe's son Hideo (also Kimicho's half-brother) out of a financial jam. Taeko for her part is in love with her co-worker Koji, but Koji's mother Chiyo categorically forbids the marriage.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

As You Know | |
| Clothes of Deception / int_9843be73 | comment |
As You Know: Some dialogue in Chiyo's tea house between the residents confirms that not only is Chiyo herself a geisha, but years ago she and Kiju were rivals for Mr. Watanabe's patronage. Kiju won, which is why Chiyo hates her so much and why she refuses to sanction Koji's marriage to Taeko. Similar dialogue between women of the neighborhood, as Taeko whizzes by on a bicycle, confirms that Taeko works in a tourism office. Amusingly, one of the neighborhood women thinks it's "a waste" that Taeko didn't follow her family's tradition and become a geisha. | |

Bathtub Scene: Taeko seeks out Kimicho and finds her in a communal bath house, which features a lot of Toplessness from the Back women in a scene that was unusually racy for Japanese cinema of the era. | |

Cat Fight: Chiyo, who lost Mr. Watanabe to Kiju a couple of decades ago, finds herself losing Mr. Isehama to younger, sexier Kimicho in the present. Her fury at this leads to a wild Cat Fight (including biting!) that Mr. Isehama has to break up. | |
