Day 86: The term geisha derives from the words "art" and "person", so in our terms, an artist. Their system is quite complex with long years of training and specific rankings. The most prestigious ones come from Kyoto and they can only be seen in some particular neighbourhoods at very precise time. These female entertainers master the art of dancing, preparing tea, and playing the shamisen (typical musical instrument) for their customers. Starting at 5.30pm, they can be seen running by tiny steps from one appointment to another. It is very special to see one of them because they only stay a few seconds in the street before disappearing behind another door. They rarely smile and always look down as they run. The one in this picture is a maiko (apprentice geisha). She is young and still needs to pass the erikae (ceremony) to change her collar from red to white and become a full-time independent geisha. #japan #kyoto #geisha #maiko #japaneseart #japaneseculture #travel #aroundtheworld
