      Me han encantado los dos vídeos, tanto el primero sobre cómo han maquillado a Harumi como Maiko. Como el segundo vídeo en el que se muestra la vestimenta típica de Japón (el kimono).
      In English, I love both videos, the first one is my favourite because it shows you how the Maiko prepare her faces with this special make up and oils. She is very beautiful as a Maiko.

    This and the previous video were an absolute delight to watch. Harumi is beautiful and was glowing with joy during her transformation. What a wonderful experience that must have been

    By the way, Harumi did an excellent job as presenter and host of the episodes, so natural

    Harumi looks adorable as a maiko, it really does give her such a youthful look.
    Thank you for sharing this experience with us, I love that the staff explained about each element of the process while it was being done. Educational and entertaining!

    Harumi is stunning. I could see how pleased she was with the final results of dressing as maiko. I smiled through both videos! This was so much fun!

  • @timblack8796
    @timblack8796 2 ปีที่แล้ว +133

    this was lovely on so many levels, I think the only one unhappy with the whole transformation was Nagi, as that was no longer her mother. thank you for all of these, stay warm and keep up the great work, GO TEAM SHOGO!

    Harumi san is truly one of the "Flowers of Kyoto". She is also a wonderful narrator

  • @palomaisme
    @palomaisme 2 ปีที่แล้ว +99

    Right now I'm reading Geisha, a life by Mineko Iwasaki and what a beautiful world is that of Maiko and Geisha. I really enjoyed this video and if I fulfill my dream of going to Kyoto I'll try to go there. Thank you Shogo!

    • @cherie4665
      @cherie4665 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Have you read Geisha by Liza Dalby? That's a very iconic book by an anthropologist on geisha culture (she became a maiko in Kyoto herself and even has a geisha name of her own!). I think you'll enjoy that too.

  • @book3100
    @book3100 2 ปีที่แล้ว +404

    Beautiful!
    But I've got so used to seeing maiko and knowing they're so young, that when you're wife was dressed, it made me see her as 16 or 18 years old. Not a bad thing! It was such a transformation!
    I'd like to see her as geiko too, although I don't know if that's possible.

    • @GrandDuchessT
      @GrandDuchessT 2 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      There are places offering geiko dress up experience! If Harumi is up for it, I'm sure she'll look very elegant!

    • @mk098a
      @mk098a 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Gion Aya (where Harumi dressed as a Maiko) also do the makeup/kimono to dress as a Geiko

  • @kolli7150
    @kolli7150 2 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    Harumi definitely is as if not more beautiful than any maiko I have seen on this channel. She just has naturally beautiful facial features regardless of her age. Moreover, in my eyes, it's much more enriching to spend time with Harumi because of her life experiences and more complex dreams, ambitions and obligations as well as her academic education she has compared to an 18 year old woman who cannot have this level life experience. So thank you Harumi to share this video with us. :)

    @alderblanco2362 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I'm so used to seeing Shogo in his usual kimono that seeing him in western style clothes feels refreshing, haha. You look very nice! And Harumi looked like a dream!!! Thank you for the video!!

  • @knowdaledge1
    @knowdaledge1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    With her small frame and stature, Harumi does look like a teenager. What a transformation!? Very beautiful!! I really enjoyed this, thanks Shogo!

  • @NoeDactyl
    @NoeDactyl 2 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    こちらこそありがとうございます
    Special thanks for including the link to the website for the geiko and maiko experience where one can browse the gorgeous kimono, obi and kanzashi.
    I wonder whether it would be possible for a man to visit the centre just to admire these items when there are no other customers. I could spend hours studying their stunning designs and the crafts which go into their creation.
    The staff all seemed so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, too.

    • @mk098a
      @mk098a 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      They probably wouldn’t because their business depends on dressing people, but there are plenty of stores you can go to look at kimono and kanzashi

    • @jinbutsufumei
      @jinbutsufumei 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@mk098a Thank you for taking the time and trouble to reply to my comment. Now that you point this out I suppose it should have been obvious - but I'm afraid that if I visited those stores I would have to be sure not to take too much money with me in case the fabrics were just too irresistible.

  • @adyenlichtwachter6684
    @adyenlichtwachter6684 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Harumi san's features have a wonderful balance of beauty, grace, dignity and radiance in these videos.
    Tho I was kind of hoping she'd pick a yellow kimono because she can own it hardcore.
    Oh well blue is wonderful too. She's stunning as a geiko.

  • @Snailirific
    @Snailirific 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I did this experience in 2019 and it was great! The staff was so nice and helpful. Since it was a slow day they even let us take some phone photos inside in one of the old tatami floor rooms. I was even lucky enough to get the kimono I wanted which I had seen on the website. Great experience!

  • @SplatterInker
    @SplatterInker 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Pretty sure this is the place I went to in 2018! It was such a fantastic experience.
    My other half also got dressed up in Kimono as a "samurai" so we could have the photos together. 😊

  • @erinbanana22
    @erinbanana22 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Watching your wife light up seeing herself transformed in all the beautiful maiko makeup and attire was so sweet and pure! What a great house that offers all the details and we're kind about questions 💗 I dream of a trip one day to also dress as a beautiful maiko with all the kanzashi my hair will hold! 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing such a fun house and adventure!

  • @sphinx2122
    @sphinx2122 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Harumi looks so magically stunning. She chose the perfect Kimono. The colour of the Obi matches fantastical with the pastel blue. She looks like a really beautiful Maiko.

  • @charlotteemerson5050
    @charlotteemerson5050 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

  • @ronsorage78
    @ronsorage78 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Harumi looked amazing. What an experience that must have been for her. Now she has all those photos to remind her. There is so much that goes into dressing. The weight must be considerably for just clothing. Tomoko looked cute as always. I hope she gets to do that at some point (if she wants to of course). It looked like it was a lot of fun.

  • @CTN404
    @CTN404 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Another great video filled with fun & educational content. It is interesting to see Shogo-san & Harumi-san take turn hosting this video. I look forward to seeing Harumi-san taking lead hosting some of future videos. There might be some ideas worth exploring. It was a pleasant experience watching Shogo-san in supporting role while taking time to bond with his children. 😊

    @willmariegirona2911 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Oh Harumi looked beautiful. This looks like a wonderful experience and yes, I agree with her, if I were a teenage Japanese, I would become a Maiko. Since I can remember, like 3 or 4 yo, I've always loved seeing Geisha/Geiko figures, images and I loved Asian architecture and gardens, oh how I love the gardens. So I've always been learning and love it. 😌☺❤

    Thank you for this video. It was lovely to see your wife dressed as a maiko, and that she enjoyed it. The staff there answered so many questions, and were so helpful that I learned a lot. When your daughters are teenagers, it would be wonderful for them to dress up as geisha.

  • @laurabotello4946
    @laurabotello4946 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If I get to go to Japan one day, I hope I get to experience at least once how to look like a maiko. It's one of the many ways I could show my high appreciation for the country's culture.

    • @TheNinjaNiky
      @TheNinjaNiky 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You could always just buy a kimono and do it yourself. They're not cheap but they're not crazy expensive either. I have a few, takes a lot of practice to get the obi right though, especially doing it yourself
