How amazing!! It must have been painstaking work to have to do that everyday. How can they keep their skin clear if they put on so much makeup? But wow what an art.
It looks like this maiko/hangyoku (apprentice geisha) came in wearing the oshiyun hairstyle, and when she left she was wearing the ofuku hairstyle. Oshiyun is nowadays rarely seen: only on Setsubun and sometimes before a maiko becomes a full-fledged geisha will she wear it. Ofuku on the other hand is a pretty common hairstyle and is worn by all senior maiko.
