Real Japanese Geisha girls Story Trailor "Meiji Ichidai Onna

[Melmel1231]

what this is bad! geishas don't act out a play!

[vampireloveswerwolf]

Is this kabuki? I never saw geishas acting, only dancing and singing or playing koto or shamisen.

[LMFAOASAP]

@vampireloveswerwolf they are kabuki actors playing geisha

[creamyumi]

Hm, like...

Geisha = woman

Maiko = Geisha girl

Or so it seems. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[sbui66pip]

Maiko = apprentice geisha

More correct XD

[silverarrow112]

no.A maiko is a geisha in training to become a geiko. Maiko and Geiko are both Geisha.

[jojiojp]

@silverarrow112 geiko is just how you say geisha in kyoto and kansai dialect. You dont say geisha in kyoto if you are refering to a geisha of the five hanamachi. A maiko is training to become a geiko. A maiko is an apprentice geisha and not yet a geisha herself. A maiko's "equivalent" outside of kyoto has other names such as hangyoku in tokyo or　Oshakusan

@jojiojp dont forget about geigi in other regions too

[jojiojp]

@pincushionllama Do you know a region where they are normally referred to as geigi? I've found that geiko/geisha line to extend beyond normally considered kansai/kantou to actually include most hanamachi above and below that split as well. For instance, in Kyuushuu (below kansai) they are called geiko as well. Geigi seems to be something like a "scientific name" name equivalent i.e. used to refer to geisha in general w/o recognition of region. The characters for geigi and geiko are the same btw

Mai- dance

Ko- child

So dance child, or child of the dance.

[sprgirl1001]

wow, amazing!

[huivue]

Miao Chinese and Japanese Geisha dressing the

same, because they tied knotes at the back.

The news paper also said that Jap women and

Miao women dress the same. Ano hai subarashii!

[Oshidorinohina]

what the hell...why do they keep calling them "geisha girls"? that term is incorrect its geiko or just GEISHA

[boredboredbored1234]

I know! I was wondering why people say Geisha girls too!

[horriehomepage]

The person who posted this wrote "old Japanee song." so I wouldn't expect anything to be very accurate. :-P

[Lost251]

Calm down sweaty.

[Lost251]

Calm down sweaty.

[ohisashiburi]

[JPandCo]

[CaiteDesu]

Contrary to popular belief Geisha can be ANY age, not just "girls".
