Maiko
On a recent trip to Gifu, Kyoto, I was lucky enough to snap this Maiko (Geisha trainee), as she clip-clopped across a road in her geta.
Maiko belongs to the following groups:
BubbleMania, Japanfluence and Masterpiece: PhotographyAvailable for sale as Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints and Canvas Prints

Beautiful. I love the black of her hair and clothing continuing into the black background with the stark contrast of white skin. A favourite.

Beautiful…so graceful…The black outlines her profile wonderfully…so i didn’t realise they painted their whole neck…except the back…interesting!

Heya Mike,
Apart from this being a lovely portrait, I like that you’ve explicitly titled this “Maiko”. I looked up the difference between a maiko and a geisha and the subtle differences are quite interesting! The link is here if you’d like to have a look.

Love how the black of her hair, dress and the background all melt together letting all the other parts of float in space to suggest the whole
