Beauty of Maiko by Tatum Wulff

A beautiful Maiko walks to work, in the famous and historic Geisha district of Gion, Kyoto, Japan. I arrived in Gion only a few moments before seeing her and quickly took a few shots before an interested crowd appeared in the foreground of my viewfinder… I am quite happy with how this capture turned out, with a ‘natural’ blur which to me, offers an artistic feel. I also like the western style dressed woman in the top right behind her.. as an interesting contrast.. Maiko are apprenticing Geisha. Geisha are typically much older Maiko; and Geisha kimono are distinct from Maiko kimono. What does Geisha mean… Geisha translated to direct English is art person, or one could say, artist. / A Geisha is a traditional, female Japanese entertainer who is highly skilled in the classical Japanese arts. Her skills range from singing and performing traditional dance to playing classical musical instruments, such as the shamisen. / Moreover, her skill at the art of conversation is highly important and she therefore tends to have knowledge of historic and current events. Geisha are expected to create an atmosphere of relaxation and entertainment. Their gracious social etiquette skills are as impeccable as is their appearance and delicate demeanor.
