'Geisha: Flowers of Kyoto' is a short film shot in April, 2012. It depicts the maiko and geiko of Miyagawacho, Gion and Pontocho, as well as the sakura and ume blossom in the Japanese springtime.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful I LOVE:-) the scenery, the blossom, the Geisha, the music goes perfectly with the video. You get a real sense of timeless tradition. Thank you it makes me want to visit Japan.
Excellent editig!! I really enjoyed it. I was in Kyoto end of March 2012 so it made me feel like I was there again. Loved Japan and its wonderful people. Hope to go back soon....Thanks for this wonderful gift
Rose Garden. said:" They entertain men for money". Yes and even then with only the corporate elite or those with a long standing relationship with the Okiya. Its not a vulgar situation, its based on art and the traditional talents of these dedicated women. Respect.
Comme l'on a envie de retourner à Kyoto en regardant ce charmant film ... Les quartiers de Gion ou Pontocho, la rivière Kamo, et peut-être la chance de croiser une maïko ou une geïko.
Thanks for the nice comments. I'm pleased that you like the video. I just returned from another trip to Japan last week and have lots of new footage to edit. I will hopefully be uploading some new Japan videos here soon.
Fukukimi looks a very funny girl. Chikayuki's smile melts my heart, it is so sweet. So nice to see many images of Fukusuzu, now a geiko. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video.
AThousandTales Thanks for the info. It's me at 1:48 talking to Maiko Fukusuzu. It's reallly interesting to hear that her Erikae was so recent! I would love to see pictures. I have a program from this years Kyo Odori and Miyako Odori so I was going to try and match some of the names to faces. It would be great if you had time to add them though. Best wishes
the geisha seem to be the embodiment of grace and beauty ,always seem to give a sweet nod to the people around them ,it must be very tiresome but they don't show it .
Oh! That's Hanafusa okiya in Miyagawa-cho at 4:59 where the Kiku-sisters live! (◕∇◕✿)... and 1:24 & 6:02 looks like Ayano-san from Fukushima okiya in Gion kobu... (◕ ꒳ ◕✿) You've got some amazing footage here. Real geiko and maiko can be hard to spot...
There is an extraordinary Japanese garden in Paris, France many do not know of. It does cost to get in but is free some days of the year and is very large, authentic, beautifully maintained and excellent. I take people around here on tours or help them do business here and this place is such a joy to show them, they are so charmed by Paris but then to get Japan they go bananas. Uprated, very good clip, really nice. Bless.
In recent years, the number of violations of manners by foreign tourists has increased. Therefore, people in Kyoto such as Maiko are also annoyed. Please do not enter the private land and shoot. Please do not come to Japan if you cannot follow the rules.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing all that info! I am very grateful. I have been posting pics from the Kyo Odori program on my twitter account (@KikuyaKanzashi) so if you have one also, please feel free to take a look. I plan to post some from the Miyako Odori soon too.
There is a video on the internet where a Maiko from Kyoto revealed what was in her "tote bag" 1. a comb 2. Two fans 3. a veil or head covering used in some dances 4. a wallet or purse where she kept her "business cards" (with her name on it-in Japanese) 5 . a makeup mirror. Whatever else she had in there was apparently private and not for the general public. Applying the white make-up may take up to an hour. She never touches it until she has finished her work and returns to her residence at night.
The maiko and geiko are stunningly beautiful. But the influence of western dress has affected their, gait so not one had the pigeon toed floating walk formerly common when these artist grew up wearing kimono. It is jarring watching the indelicate lumbering.
I have a lot to do right after my shower I’ll be home soon I love ya I know you honey I love ya too much love you sweetheart love you honey I love ya too please please let me know if you need help with your appointment thank you oh

1:14 I'm so excited on the way they walk. It's so adorable.😘😍

お琴の音色より
三味線があいますなぁ♪
National living treasures...
I amend my statement, the geisha crossing the screen at 1:14 min. has a beautiful walk.
All of them does. This is part of their arts.
she's a maiko, not a geisha.

芸者って書いてあったけど、舞妓さんやんΣ(゚д゚lll)
外国人向けにワザとそうしたんでしょう。芸妓と舞妓の区別はつかないでしょうから。
So enchanting.
MAIKO とGEISHA がゴッチャなのかな。
けどようも頑張ってこんだけの影像集めたもんです。
努力賞でポチ!
I'm seriously impressed! Thanks for all the info. I have my favourites ;) Nice to know their names.
Amazing and Beautiful!!!
Perfectness

El potencial que pudo tener este canal
芸妓さんと舞妓さんです They are Geiko and Maiko

Từ nhỏ đến giờ..4,5 tuổi ( mặt tiền... họ chuyển đi chỗ khác)
how did you get so much footage of the girls? i didn't see any of them "in the wild". only 1 maiko from buying a ticket to see a performance.
Công việc nhẹ nhàng, Nhật Bản nhập khẩu lương cao...
Meditation:))))

She is not geisha. She is maiko.
Mấy chị tho thêu nho day vì sương không thêu cả 1 cái áo như vậy được.
MAIKO !! 「舞妓、まいこ、マイコ」
Do they still perfume the dutied from long ago or is it just dressing up now?
I think this is Meiko, not Geisha/Geiko... Look at the long sleeves and jewelery.
no!!!geishaMaiko!
They are maiko.
They are not geisha.
Which do you prefer, maiko or geisha?
A maiko is an apprentice,learning the geisha’s trade.
what is the song's name ???
Hanayagi

That is not Geisha
They are maiko, apprentice geisha, however you can see a pair or more geiko
Is the first geisha who appears in the video "Tomitsuyu" ?
oh wait, no, ive just noticed it was filmed in 2012, and maiko tomitsuyu was a novice geisha in 2013.
>> OSHIN
Divin
They are always carrying that strange box with their stuff in it? Like make up?
There is a video on the internet where a Maiko from Kyoto revealed what was in her "tote bag"
1. a comb
2. Two fans
3. a veil or head covering used in some dances
4. a wallet or purse where she kept her "business cards" (with her name on it-in Japanese)

@@Frank-mm2yp Very interesting. The box looks very big and uncomfortable

2:43 왜케 박명수 닮음?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
気持ちは分かるけど はよー何とかせんと 舞妓さん可哀想ですがな
追っかけ写真やめときまひょう。
芸舞妓はんを芸者などと表記するのやめておくれやす。
진짜였음조케다야 진심 부럽냐
They entertain men for money.
