@pincushionllama Do you know a region where they are normally referred to as geigi? I've found that geiko/geisha line to extend beyond normally considered kansai/kantou to actually include most hanamachi above and below that split as well. For instance, in Kyuushuu (below kansai) they are called geiko as well. Geigi seems to be something like a "scientific name" name equivalent i.e. used to refer to geisha in general w/o recognition of region. The characters for geigi and geiko are the same btw

@jojiojp dont forget about geigi in other regions too
-
@silverarrow112 geiko is just how you say geisha in kyoto and kansai dialect. You dont say geisha in kyoto if you are refering to a geisha of the five hanamachi. A maiko is training to become a geiko. A maiko is an apprentice geisha and not yet a geisha herself. A maiko's "equivalent" outside of kyoto has other names such as hangyoku in tokyo or Oshakusan

Mai- dance
Ko- child
So dance child, or child of the dance.
-
@vampireloveswerwolf they are kabuki actors playing geisha
-
no.A maiko is a geisha in training to become a geiko. Maiko and Geiko are both Geisha.
-
what this is bad! geishas don't act out a play!
-
Maiko = apprentice geisha
More correct XD
-
Is this kabuki? I never saw geishas acting, only dancing and singing or playing koto or shamisen.
-
Hm, like...
Geisha = woman
Maiko = Geisha girl
Or so it seems. Correct me if I'm wrong.
what the hell...why do they keep calling them "geisha girls"? that term is incorrect its geiko or just GEISHA
