艺伎，字面上的含意为"以艺术为生"。每个艺伎都要经过严格的训练，学习茶道、书法、乐器、舞蹈、礼节等等。男人们用餐时，她们跪在旁边斟酒上菜，微笑着和他们聊天。待到酒过三旬后，艺伎开始表演以活跃气氛，不论是弹奏乐器或是演唱情歌。最令人称赞的是艺伎的谈话艺术，无论是国际新闻，还是花边消息，她们都了若指掌。 但是艺伎这一古老的文化行业，是否能够在现今充满竞争、科技日新月异的现代日本社会保存下来？十九世纪20年代是艺伎行业的全盛期，有将近80,000名的艺伎，而今却剩下不到1,000名。 　　艺伎的世界始终保持着一种神秘感。她们浓妆的脸上几乎看不出喜怒哀乐，她们是日本文化与艺术的缩影，这也是她们为之骄傲的。艺伎一生就是为了服侍日本上流社会中的达官显贵、富商阔佬，人们只能在那些豪华的茶店酒楼和隐密的日本料亭中看到她们的身影。所以基于上述的种种原因，艺伎一直被笼罩在一层神秘的面纱之下…… 　　 　　Dismissed by Western society as little more than high-priced call girls, the Japanese women known as Geisha are part of a centuries-old tradition that made them a vital part of that country's society. See how they were trained from childhood in music, the arts, conversation and "massaging the male ego," and visit with modern-day Geisha, in this revealing program.

With this new series Andrew Graham-Dixon returns to Europe taking us on a journey into the captivating watery world of the Low Countries and its art. This small myriad of regions we now know as Holland and Belgium produced some of the most celebrated names in art: Van Eyck, Bosch, Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer, Van Gogh, Mondrian and Magritte. 　　As he travels by canal boat and of course by bicycle Andrew reveals just how important the Low Countries were in key moments in the development of western culture - the birth of oil painting in the late medieval ages, the triumph of the Dutch golden age, and the onset of polarizing modern art movements surrealism and abstraction. 　　This is not the story of one nation, but of fluid, ever-shifting boundaries and the search for identity in an area that has always been politically contested. 　　EPISODE ONE: 　　The first episode will be about how the art of Renaissance Flanders evolved from the craft of precious tapestries within the Duchy of Burgundy into a leading painting school in its own right. Starting his journey at the magnificent altarpiece of Ghent Cathedral created by the Van Eyck brothers Andrew explains their ground breaking innovation in oil painting and marvels how the colours they obtained can still remain so vibrant today. Andrew will describe how in the early Renaissance the most urgent preoccupation was not the advancement of learning, humanist or otherwise, but the Last Judgment. People believed they were living in the end of days; a subject popular with preachers and artists and intensely realized in swarming microscopic detail by Hieronymus Bosch. 　　EPISODE TWO: 　　In the second episode Andrew explores how the seemingly peaceful countries of Holland and Belgium – famous for their tulips and windmills, mussels and chips - were in fact forged in a crucible of conflict and division. He will examine how a period of economic boom driven for the first time by a burgeoning and secular middle class led to the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th Century. Andrew travels to Delft and Amsterdam to demonstrate the striking contrast between two of its greatest proponents, Rembrandt and Vermeer (one famed for his breathtakingly realistic domestic street scenes, the other for explosive rapid brushstrokes and raw colours, best exemplified in his contentious magnum opus – The Nightwatch.) Radically different in style, both men were united by the realization that they must become innovators in business as well as masters of their craft. Yet boom also meant bust - and in a story with very modern echoes they ultimately shared the same fate, financial destitution. 　　EPISODE THREE: 　　Following a brief period of decline, the third episode will look at how the entrepreneurial and industrious region of the Low Countries rose again to become a cultural leader in the modern age; how despite its small and apparent insignificance when stood up against the powerhouses of Europe it produced important forward thinking artists like Van Gogh, Mondrian, Magritte and Delvaux who changed the face of art forever. In this episode Andrew’s exhilarating journey takes us to a remote beach in North West Holland which inspired Mondrian’s transition to his now renowned abstract grid paintings.
