Skittering maiko
posted September 30, 2004
*news update* Typhoon 21 sems to have broken up as it was passing over Kyoto, after hitting Shikoku pretty hard. Quiet now.
In all that regalia, with impossible blocky shoes, still they manage to flutter swiftly but gracefully this way and that, okiya to ochaya, door to taxi, to the convenience store around the corner.
It must be incredible to live amongst such beauty. During my two visits to Japan, I’ve devoted as much time as possible to watching maiko and geiko in Kyoto, and it’s hard to convey their exquisite “other-worldliness”, so keep up the good work, Nils.It’s much appreciated.
I like this photos from Kyoto.
really very beautiful.
