Kamogawa Odori - Geisha Dance: Maiko do Sei Shonagon Dance

[jeffhardyfangirl0512]

That was beautiful, but it must be hard to move around in that outfit, don't those kimonos and long obi add a few pounds?

[PeonyMai]

@jeffhardyfangirl0512 If I remember rightly, somebody told me that a fully assembled maiko obi weighs about 10kgs.

Left to right: Maiko's Hisacho, Hisamari (she quit), and Ichiemi.

[osbourn15]

Sorry the maiko on the right is Hisano not Ichiemi.

[sengokusamurai]

what a beautiful show ^_^

[UreMezzo]

Ah, so beautiful! Do you by any chance have a longer version of this video - the full dance perhaps? I would *love* to see it!!! ^_^

[RoninDave]

Afraid not - this was taken with my digital photo camera's video function. That's why this is so short.

[saigokun]

Very beautiful this video.

[ohisashiburi]

Pure culture...read Sei Shonagon 'Pillow Book'..it will carry you back to the courts of the 10th and 11th centuries.

[Yuripaine]

Yeah thank you ! I love it ^^

[claw789]

Wow, those Pontocho maiko are impressive.
