  • She used to work as a secretary....so how old was she when she became a geisha? Do they still follow an age restriction to becoming a geisha?

  • She début as a Jikata Geiko (musicians). That's usually the direction they take when they become Geiko at an older age. Though once in a blue moon there are ladies that début as Geiko and become Tachikata (dancers).

  • WOW, she's an amazing dancer! When they were talking about her passion for the shamisen.

  • Makoto is a 'Natori Geiko' . Meaning that she has mastered Inoue Kyo-mai dance (the dance style that Gion Kobu Geiko & Maiko dance). The dance she is dancing is called 'Kurokami' or 'Black hair'.

  • @suichi98 No you just have to know someone who is already "inside". Dont have to be rich or famous. Still may not sound fair, but it so the wrong people dont come in. Like those who have the misconception that geisha or geiko are prostitutes.

  • so noone can go to a tea house to dine with maiko and geisha unless they are rich and famous??? does not sound fair to me!!!

see all

  • gosh i love her hair XD

  • @suichi98 like they said, if it was open to everyone, what value would it have?

  • the geikos younger sister is adorable.

  • @osbourn16 oh yes she is truly a very good dancer and she is just so beautiful, does there other more Videos of Makoto exists? or where can I enjoy it? thx

  • You know...I've always wondered about geisha anthropology--that is, who took the time to sit down to decide all rules and the responsibilities. Nothing wrong, if anything, very beautiful.

    I've taken classes in psychology and sociology, so I do wonder about it. XD

  • @looker768

    As far as i know they become Geiko (Geisha) at the age of 20
