Those "Kabuki Actors" are actually Miyagawa-cho Geiko dressed in Obake costumes. Their names are Miehina and Yasuha.

Thank you for sharing the video!

[RoninDave]

ah, I was wondering what kabuki actors were doing in Kyoto and feminine ones at that

nice vid ronin

[akanohebi]

can i know why behind of the geisha neck is not color with white paint.

Thank you for the video.

[Shadowdancer21b]

@akanohebi It's a matter of preference. The makeup is expensive, so some geisha do not put the makeup on the back of their neck, but there are some who do.

[RoninDave]

@akanohebi in olden times the back of a woman's neck was seen as a sexy spot so leaving it bare accentuated this

[akanohebi]

uuuu SEXY!!!

Thank you so much

[osbourn15]

It's to keep the white make-up out of the hair-line, plus Japanese find the nape of the neck sexy. So it emphasizes it.

Nice vid dude.Did you see any Akateko or Azukitogi while you were there?

[RoninDave]

can't say that I did. Those are yokai and a little different than Setsubun Oni - no weakness to beans for example.

[Auron710]

another cool video =) thanks

[malevolenceXXXensues]

did someone say something about pelting beans at loli jk

[LatinoSan]

Hey guy I saw you there yesterday!

you did look familiar!

joe from itami.

[RoninDave]

@LatinoSan where were you? I saw someone around 4 looking at me a few times but that might have just been my normal paranoia. Did you get to any setsubun stuff today?

[LatinoSan]

I went yesterday, was walking around...but got back just before it started to snow, but no, I didn't get any beans!

Too bad...so I'm dammed!

but it's ok...it's normal..hahahahaha

But at time, I was heading to Inari Jinjya.

I had been 10 years since I last went there.

Great videos!!!

[YordyTube]

When I see this, I'm glad we decided to also visit Kyoto next April when we're back in Japan! Thanks for sharing!
