In the entertainment district of Kyoto, a maiko wearing platform sandals makes sounds stepping on the stone-paved street. Flower petals are hanging from the flower hair ornament stuck in her elaborate hairdo, suggesting her innocence. Two lines extended from the maiko’s neckline and the tip of the lipstick brush touching her lips along the edges of her white makeup make her look coquettish. A long sash hanging loosely from the long sleeved kimono and a glossy obidome brooch bring out the beauty of the young maiko. Maikos in Gion, by the Shirakawa river and the Takase river… This photo collection captures the gracefulness of maiko blended into the streets of Kyoto. There are 50 images in this collection.
