day 119 - Geiko, Kyoto



Maiko-san's back. White powder is mixed with water and brush-painted on, using a stencil.


The Maiko-san and The Matt... Maiko are trainee geisha / geiko.




Poster for the show where we saw the Geiko Arts of dance, singing and shamisen. In Kyoto geisha are known as Geiko-san.




Geiko still turn heads in the Gion district, Kyoto.
