guys you're mad you see a japanese girl in a trailing hikizuri kimono, white make up and a wig and they are geishas. these ladies are dancers they are not geisha at all, they might be from tokyo osaka kyoto or kobe or just from washigton dc or new york. but believe me these ladies arent geisha.

I think these are osaka geisha they are more famous for their stunts and somewhat looser behaviour. And they sometimes also show one red sleeve. Type ´hera hera odori´ in the search bar and you´ll see what I mean.

Whoever set this stage up did not clean the floor mats very well. If you look closely, you can see that their tabi socks are really dirty. This might be why they have their kimono hiked up so high.

How un-graceful for a Geiko to throw with such force and kick her back leg up!
