So beautiful and so enigmatic. Your first photo is amazing. I’ve been so intrigued by this lifestyle ever since Memoirs of a Geisha, and whenever there is another expose, I’m drawn in all over again.

I’ve seen women dressed as traditional Geisha’s in the Gion district. It was hard to know if they were true Geisha’s or had paid a service to dress them. Lovely to see and I can’t imagine those shoes on the cobblestones!

We didn’t get to see any Geisha on our trip to Japan, but would love too. One of many reasons we need to go back.

Great photos! The first image shows how quickly she was walking. Both Geishas look so beautiful and mysterious.

So pretty. I can imagine what it must take to get dressed and made up!

We were also very lucky to see a real geaisha and there are differences, between some of the women and also got a great shot. It felt really special didn;t it. A part of history and culture.

The shoes that the first geisha is wearing reminds me of rocker sandals that are supposed to tone your legs while you walk according to the ads. That’s a great photo you captured at the end. When we were in Kyoto, we got so tired fighting the crowds during hanami season that we never got over to Gion much my disappointment.
