Geisha Dance

[Sotkai11]

does anyone know which Kagai Satoai is from, and if she is still active?

[yupitsme09]

she's not a geisha,she's a maiko

her collar is red, geisha collar is all white

also he obi is dangles and geisha obi is in complete knot

[kirstyana]

Gion Kouta represent the affection and beauty off a maiko thrue the seasons.

its specialy represented in this song is her darari obi, and furisode kimono (hikizuri)

[Walkyrie555]

She is very very very beautiful ...

I love her dance, her face <3

[shiratami1391]

is she getting annoyed?

[KaramelLolaBunnie91]

Grace Like Rain by Todd Agnew will be my geisha praise dancing song/music <3

[MsSaraMurray]

This is a maiko by the way, not a geisha.

[MisseChval]

@MsSaraMurray  Yeah, 'cause her collar is red ;-)

[firewalker570]

this is the Gion Kouta its actully a dance to represent the daily life of a geisha.....

[Alias1495]

Wow, I like how the Japanese culture is really unique. :D

[mark60060]

does anybody know her name?

she looks like Ichkawa on another video.

Ichikawa is my most favorite.

[jigglycotton]

@mark60060 Someone commented on my other video that her name was Satoai.

[japanatheart89]

this is actually a Maiko, not a Geisha, see the red collar? And the way her Obi is tied makes her a Maiko.

[Akashia14Moka]

What a wonderful sr maiko :-)

She dance Miyagawa-cho version for Gion Kouta,as she is a maiko from Miyagawa-cho :-)

Lovely

[Yuri92001]

The thingy she ties around here waiste looks like the Star of David pattern over and over.

(sorry if I dont know what that is called....someone can educated me if they wish)

[chantalbernard2]

it looks like enlarged bamboo caning

[Alias1495]

@Yuri92001 It's an Obi.

[Yuri92001]

@Alias1495 Oh gosh how could I have forgotten lol

[GodsBittersweetEmo]

She's very, very, pretty and graceful.

It's funny, because at several points in the video you see her kind of give this annoyed look at some people.

[foxlilly5]

yeah its the song i hear the most when looking at geisha dancing videos - i recognize it and im not even japanese!

[MickieJamesFan4evr]

HI! =3

[angeleyes503]

Yeah, hence why it's titled Gion Kouta, aka Song Of Gion (The most popular geiko district).

[geiko14]

she has a cute round face

kawaii (^-^)

[Pizzuzza]

That's not completly true. The song talks also about love and beauty of maikos, and how men love them and their sensual purity.

[CaiteDesu]

Agreed... this song has nothing to do with love... it's about Kyoto's seasons. Going through Spring, Summer, Fall, and then Winter.

[pincushionllama]

also remembe they are huge on puns and euphamisms. going through the season may also represent the maiko getting older and more beautiful.

[osbourn15]

The song actually doesn't speak of a lover. But it is a story of Gion and it's seasons.
