Maiko



On one of our days in Kyoto, we took in the annual Spring Dances which are performed by apprentice geisha called maiko. The dances were performed at the Pontocho Kaburenjo Theatre, complete with a tea ceremony previous to the performance. I tried to wear my best, but couldn't help feeling like a bum as many locals wore their kimonos to attend. There were even some geisha in the audience!
