  • she is maiko, definetly! look at all the kazanshi (hairpins), geiko would never wear that many of them! and the shoes are maiko shoes, the bow is that of a maiko and then the kimono itself is the Kimonoshape used for young girls, and thats what maiko are supposed to act as. and last but not least the collar, as you all can see its red, geiko wear white collar

  • I envy the Japanese a bit.. .If I were to go out in old traditional Clothes, let's say from the 1700s, everyone would laugh.

  • oh my God! so many things!!! i wonder if she can breathe!!

  • @TheMaybeme123 that's also a good point^^

  • She's from Kaden Okiya in Miyagawacho geisha district ^^

  • @mapferl it's an easyer way: look at her lips a geiko has only the upper lip painted red!

  • @BalletRibbons thats a maiko, not a geisha but yea

  • Her style is "MAIKO".

    Her hair style's name is "OFUKU".

  • @enigmaticfille lol agreed!! it seems like such a easy thing "show the people how the make up goes on, show the people how she gets dressed..." and yet, nothing! baaah!! :P

  • @blazzinboo lol, i swear. in the makeup vid he doesn't show the makeup properly and in the dressing vid he doesn't show the dressing properly. he/she should quit their job! :-/

  • I love the way her kimono falls on the tatami floors on 1:28, looks like a mermaid standing up
