A young maiko (apprentice geisha) in Kyoto
She spent an evening with us, serving drinks and providing entertainment
A beautiful bodice
Traditional hair style
Exquisite brocade
Needless to say, we all had cameras and took pictures
She is about to start a dance with the fan that's in front of her
She also played the "bowl" game with us - probably more fun if you've been drinking
We also took pictures of her outside the restaurant
Posing with a red umbrella
Traditional shoes for geishas - the original platform shoes
