Tokyo Geishas II

Tokyo Geishas II, originally uploaded by Phil Pogg.

Oh! Finally some pictures of geishas (rather maikos, i.e. young geishas). There are very few of them left in Tokyo, and we saw four of them invited at the "Hina Matsuri" festival, the Day of the Girls, in Asakusa. Taken by Delphine, Tokyo, March 2008.

For really superb pictures of geishas and maikos in Kyoto, do not miss the gorgeous Flickr portfolio of www.flickr.com/photos/mboogiedown/. Melissa is a master in both photography and ethnography!
