**********************************************
Around the world, most of the people know the word Geisha. In Kyoto, it is more common to use the word Geiko. The word Maiko refers to the young Geiko (Geisha) apprentices.
On November 5, we had this great event in Omotesando, Tokyo. On that Saturday, the Fashion Magazine VOGUE was celebrating the 2011 Fashion's Night Out in the area.
The great feature for our party was that we invited one Geiko and two Maiko to perform traditional dances, to show and promote the culture of Kyoto in the Tokyo area.
In the party we counted with the presence of many Kyoto Fans, who shared with us an exceptional evening.

Very beautiful, colorful and enjoyable. You did an excellent job with the camera. What model of camera did you use? But the audience is very noisy. It is hard to concentrate on the performance.

@alexandermakoto Thank you! Glad you like the video. I was using a Canon EOS Kiss, for both photos and the video. And as you point out, the camera got all the surrounding audio... maybe next time I should use a microphone and put it near the Geiko playing the Shamisen.

What a coincidence. I have an old Canon Rebel XT digital SLR. I want to purchase a HD video camera as well.
