The idea of the event was precisely to allow photography during the whole performance, as a special service for the attendants. We wanted the event to have a more relaxed atmosphere, and let the guests record the experience without restrictions. The girls knew that and were aware, so there is no problem at all.
It's amazing to think that years ago, this world of Geisha was secret and hardly known but now people of all colors, shapes and sizes can fly right to where the art originated and grew to see these masters continue to perform! Absoltuley stunning!!
I don't think there is a prettier woman on earth than maiko and geiko. They are magnificent creatures. Living flowers, so graceful. It's absolutely amazing to me.
Hi! Thank you very much for your comment! As you say, now there are less girls training to become Geiko (Geisha) but, here in Kyoto there is a strong social movement to preserve this tradition. The Geiko and Maiko perform often in local festivals and sometimes for tourists too. As part of these efforts, here in Kyoto Fan we posted these Geiko/Maiko videos, so share its culture with the world.
Well, the idea of the event was precisely that, to openly show the art of the Geiko and Maiko, giving the guests the freedom to take photos and have a record of this memorable experience. Also, we, including the girls that kindly performed for us, really hope that through all the photos and video taken, many others get the opportunity to know about the Geiko/Maiko culture. That was the main goal of our event, to share this amazing art with as much people as possible.
ィファーテイラーデ I watched this same performance last April 2, but strictly no filming or photo were allowed. I think they hear you ☺️but in fairness it is more beautiful without the flashing and clicking of the camera. And it’s more beautiful performance on April events. After the show, a Japanese man approached me and gave me a piece of white cloth with a Japanese character on it, I think it means the name of the show, with a Geisha’s Signature in it, such a memorable experience. Thank You...
I get your point. In Japan, when at private events where the Geiko and Maiko perform, usually photography is not allowed. But in that case you have to pay for the seat, so as you say, you would expect to enjoy the show without everyone around taking photos. But in the case of public free events, photography is sometimes allowed, so you cannot expect the other people to stop taking photos. In the case of our event, we wanted the guests to freely record everything.
You are welcome! We didn't expected the setting and stage to look so professional hehe. Actually the whole event atmosphere was intended to be relaxed and casual, to let the attendees take a close look to the Maiko and Geiko, and have the chance to know more about them.
This was it's third edition (called 道開き)and we do try our best every year to introduce others to Japan culture by organizing as many workshops as possible. It was nice.We love Japan and I for one CANNOT wait to get there. It's been my dream for so long now. Life it's so expensive though. Idk how u manage.
I saw that you guyz had not seen i saw that there is a connection of her dance with her dance and she is trying to telling you about a four season and there is a message.
yes i agree every single comments negative and rascist and hateful comment include swearing people these day dont have any respect for people and people culture.
Ahh, I see. That makes much more sense then. So basically this is equivalent to say, a public street performance we would have here in order to let everyone have a sample of what we do. With the setting, it makes it seem like a regular performance, so I was very confused by the behavior. I understand what you mean now. Thanks for explaining!
This good I like I'm doing a school project on this so I'm bringing a dancing fan and my friend letting bring her old kimono I, not wearing it tho it's to show and I might present this video as well it will make my class project even better
Wow Very Nice!I'm so happy that Japanese are keeping their culture but i read somewhere that number of Geishas is diminishing which it think is already a threat with rising global culture. its really sad to see this trend all over the world! but anyways i really enjoyed the performance! Best Luck from Azerbaijan!!
Gorgeous! You really should tell people no photography during performances though- flash or otherwise. All I can here is constant clicking from cameras. I understand people want to capture it, but use the record function or take pictures before and after. It's just rude to interupt performances with cameras.
Completely agree. As someone in theatre, I find it extremely rude. And it's surprising for a culture known to be so polite. I can understand wanting to capture the moment, but then simply record it. Rather than worrying about getting pictures, you should be focusing on the performance. And not be rude to the performers and others watching by using flash photography, or cameras that make a bunch of noise.
Yeah, but I feel it also to be rude to the other people there watching. If I were to attend such an event, I'd want to sit and enjoy it. Not be interupted by camera noise. I understand the idea of the event. Perhaps it's because I'm in theatre myself, but I just don't like that kind of thing. Is it something more common in Japan, perhaps? It certainly isn't here, lol.
I just wanna ask about maiko gieko or geisha girls can they fall in love and get marry and make kids and have their own family and can they quit of becoming maiko gieko and geisha if they want or not
I have heard on the Dutch radio that due to the Corona crisis tourist stay a mass away from Japan, just 2% visit Kyoto, very sorry for you, i like these nice performance, but i dislike the sound of that photographing tourist. Greetings from Holland.
I dont get it, just seemed like opening and closing of a fan, a lot of hand moving and turning. Not to entertaining to me. Now I loved the singing and the music.
Taking photos I understand. But talking during a special rare event is disrespectful. I wish the people in the background had shut the hell up and simply BE in the moment and keep all conversations AFTER the performance.

Am i the only one hipnotized by the elegant moves of her hands?
good point!
I think everything about her dance is hypnotizing and beautiful (P.S i know you write this 6 years ago but i just wanted to say it
👉👈)
I felt the same way tho... ;)
I am to
it's so soothing and gentle and authentic and the camera noises really detract from that feeling
Yes, surely nowadays the world of the Geiko and Maiko is more open to the general public and they share more of this amazing tradition with the world.
It's kinda wholesome to watch old videos of maiko performance, because they probably are geishas now days already.
she's so pretty and the dance was beautiful!!
i think the cameras are from journalists , not from plain tourists so the noise and flash is understandable
They are so beautiful aren't they. Thank you for viewing the video. :)
I don't think there is a prettier woman on earth than maiko and geiko. They are magnificent creatures. Living flowers, so graceful. It's absolutely amazing to me.
Me Myself | EXACTLY there aren't prettier women.
Oh! So good to know that you had the opportunity to see this wonderful part of the Japanese culture in your country :)
Absolutely beautiful:) I really want to visit Japan someday and maybe even live there.

Maiko really are the most beautiful creatures on earth
Will do my best! Hope to see you in Kyoto soon!
We had a festival in Romania and we danced Kyo no Shiki also. Nothing compares to this and Kyoto though:))
Is great to know about the hard work you guys are doing to present the Japanese culture! Ganbatte Kudasai!
Beautiful.
Beautiful, but the noises of the cameras are...disrespectful..-_- Geez just take one picture people....not 100..
xXMiaou ForeverrXx this was a big event, not only tourists were there, reporters from japan were also hired for this

It's mesmerising. As though it were created to hypnotise...
So beautiful. The dance is a series of poses.
I really, really like this ! Wow !

Maiko Fukunae retired on October 2016, Geiko Miehina is still working :)

Beautiful!

I saw that you guyz had not seen i saw that there is a connection of her dance with her dance and she is trying to telling you about a four season and there is a message.
Loving this video. so interesting
ScriptWorker 9
people are so rude all those damn camera noises, enjoy the dance she's performing so elegant. This isn't facebook!?
Tourists don't know the manner in Ozashiki.
yes i agree every single comments negative and rascist and hateful comment include swearing people these day dont have any respect for people and people culture.
STONECOLD1987 it's possible it wasn't JUST tourist. It seems like a big event they could have been hired by magazines and the news to takes photos.
This was a huge event, many reporters of Japan was also there, not just tourists.
Thank you! Arigatou Gozaimasu!
So beautiful! !!!!
Maiko Dance: Kyo no Shiki - Four Seasons of Kyoto 【HD】

She is cute & beautiful

Just gorgeous 😍
I LOVE IT
Absolutely entranced. This is art in its most purest form!
This good I like I'm doing a school project on this so I'm bringing a dancing fan and my friend letting bring her old kimono I, not wearing it tho it's to show and I might present this video as well it will make my class project even better
This is how they compare women to flowers
Yeah I know this was 6 years ago but you do realise she is 14 at the time of recording?
@@stoof4598 Really? I thought girls could become maikos on the age of 15 to 17 years old
Yes, we have a few in our channel, please check out our uploaded videos.
That is very Good! keep the good work planning to come to Kyoto in near future:)
舞妓さんの踊りも素晴らしいが、芸妓さんの歌と三味線も素晴らしい、早々出来るもんではない
mesmerising
はい、頑張ります。ありがとうございます。
You are welcome!
Very nice.

I'm so surprised she didn't trip and fall flat on her face. Weldon gurrrrl
They are trained and discipline to the extent that they are very professionals
Sparkling-icetea shes no wearing any of those wooden shoes indoors, plus they are professionally trained
like a beautiful porcelain doll 😍
Wow Very Nice!I'm so happy that Japanese are keeping their culture but i read somewhere that number of Geishas is diminishing which it think is already a threat with rising global culture. its really sad to see this trend all over the world! but anyways i really enjoyed the performance!

What if she has to sneeze
Bello !!!
Is there anymore video showing this young Maiko Dancing..?
xbx247 juicy
This Maiko Fukunea is no longer geiko
That was awesome! What is that instrument called?
+Junipher Li Shamisen. traditional 3 strings instrument.
+Junipher Li i think is the Shamisen or samisen, i´m not sure how to spell it.
Junipher Li | its called a Shamisen.
Специфичное искусство.
舞妓さん、可愛い〜❤(´ω｀*)
Where is this teacher?
I bet she floats after she removes the kimono at the end of the day
Красиво!
i wonder what the geisha is singing. I think it has something to do with what maiko performs. She is telling a story but i can't understand it
どういたしまして！
Yeah, but I feel it also to be rude to the other people there watching. If I were to attend such an event, I'd want to sit and enjoy it. Not be interupted by camera noise.

has fukunae reached her erikae?
Shakir Shafiq Zainuddin she retired the last year :(
I just wanna ask about maiko gieko or geisha girls can they fall in love and get marry and make kids and have their own family and can they quit of becoming maiko gieko and geisha if they want or not
♥️♥️
The song is too strange for me to hear. Honestly, the first time I hear this song, I was quite scare. I didn't say in a negative way, tho.
fate will reweal it,self at the right time, it, was newer late.
はい、ふく苗さんですよ。
Движения майко в танце ещё не отточенные, не такие изящные, как у гейко :) но видно, что девочка старается :)
camera noise and flash ruin it
Ok das bin ich 🎃
いいえ、どういたしまして！
camera are kinda annoying tourists have no manner
Spirit Aura it was a big event, journalists and reporters of Japan were the ones taking the pictures
大好き大好き大好き大好き大好き大好き大好き大好き大好きツイッター買って欲しい
well a reclam most by , and also on the other part to bicome a gheisha it,s big deal, and farword, to bicome a tayu, it,s great destiny destination.
Why are people talking and making so many pictures? Very annoying!! Just enjoy with your eyes, not your camera
🌹🇧🇩♥️🇯🇵🌹
I have heard on the Dutch radio that due to the Corona crisis tourist stay a mass away from Japan, just 2% visit Kyoto, very sorry for you, i like these nice performance, but i dislike the sound of that photographing tourist. Greetings from Holland.
This Maiko is really graceful and elegant, dances like a feather, I've been watching even geikos and they are neither elegant not graceful at all....
ふく苗さんやー(^O^)
reminds me of an elegant porcelain pupped
❤️🙏🇦🇿🧕
I dont get it, just seemed like opening and closing of a fan, a lot of hand moving and turning. Not to entertaining to me. Now I loved the singing and the music.
Ben buraya nasıl geldim aq
Love the exquisite dancing, but that trodden-on-cat yowling and the twanging rubber band noise of the samisen really make me cringe.
coralarch She was a little pitchy from time to time 😂
Taking photos I understand. But talking during a special rare event is disrespectful. I wish the people in the background had shut the hell up and simply BE in the moment and keep all conversations AFTER the performance.
really annoying clapping 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Strange, but her face is insensitive. Which is not good for me.
Ужасная нудная музыка. Танец не лучше. Не могу понять почему мне это нравится!
好生硬，简直快睡着了
Beautiful.
