Traditional culture 「舞妓」"maiko"


I introduce "Maiko" today
Because the "Maiko" does not have a successor, the number of people decreases year by year and follows a course of the decline now
The "Maiko" is culture born now in Kyoto in the Edo era 300 years ago
Originally the person who waited on table came to show a song and Classical Japanese dance mimicking Kabuki.
The maiko plays an active part in a severe rule now in Gion of Kyoto
In the old days, they began training at 9 years old - 12 years old
They make a maiko only after junior high school graduation now
Anyone can experience a maiko now
Experience it at the time of trip to Kyoto by all means
However, there is much manner violation recently
Don't disturb her. She is at work right now

Then, please watch the photograph of the "Maiko" last
