Gorgeous.....this is how a traditional Geisha would have really looked
-
@sujinshin6291 You listen too hard. He said her collar is red, which it is. It signifies that she is a maiko and not a full fledged geisha yet.
-
Sure, I can tell a lot of the karyukai (Maiko world) . Please message me. There are not enough characters for me to tell here.
-
@attackofdameepits Can tell someyhing more about that? (Changes of lips, collars.)
-
@Gungemaster109 Training time. Maiko is an apprentice geiko. A Geisha is a fully honored/trained geiko.
-
So what is the difference between Maiko and Geisha?
-
The lip painting is wrong but it is some right. it's left unfilled on the top for one year. Then she paints it fully.
The also change their collars gradually from red to white by using white embroidery.
-
@sujinshin6291 The obi-age ^^
-
her kimono reminds me of the one Sayuri wore in the memoirs of a geisha movie when she went to the Baron's estate.
-
Beautiful. Maikos and geishas are like masterpieces of art.

A maiko is a geisha-in-training.

That's not true. Her obi is actually orange. The only part that's red is the strip that goes across the front of her chest. A maiko's makeup is always red and has been for hundreds of years. The makeup is always the same no matter what color obi or kimono a maiko wears.
