2005 Autumn in Kansai - Kyoto




Very lucky, we meet the Maiko by chance after window shopping around the temple.

Kyoto’s proud geisha prefer the term”geiko” (child of arts). Less polished than their geiko “sisters”, maiko, apprentice geisha, are a Kyoto-only phenomenon. The white face and delicately shaped red lips are classic ideals of beauty in Japan.
