So, Nils, when do we get to see the pictures of when you got made up like a maiko?

Hi Nils,
Can you name a few of them? I am planning to dress as a maiko during my next trip to Kyoto.
Thanks for the information!

Don’t assault my gender identity, I get enough of that from my son, who calls me “mama” more often than he calls me “dada.”

Karla, that info is here.

:O dats a good idea for my odler sister, she is going to japan somewhere next year and she wants to try wearing a formal kimono. I think this would be really perfect sicne maiko kimono and formal and also pretty. I am sure she can walk with those okobo sandals if she could walk on her platform sandal.

It’s a lot of fun to do, actually. And a surprising number of people did not realize that I was a “faiko”, ooh-ing and ahh-ing and snapping unbelievable numbers of photos.
As long as it doesn’t rain, and you don’t trip in the okobo (which is really just a matter of taking much smaller steps than normal), it’s fantastically entertaining.
