Do you know Maiko? – apprentice “Geisha” -


Maiko is a young girl who entertains guests of a banquet with a dance. Maiko, which is called hangyoku (literally half jewel) in Kanto area, is the apprentice status of geigi (geisha). Today maiko of apprentice status attract more attention than geigi and are treated like the symbol of Kyoto tourism and Kansai culture. The reason for this is due to the fact that many maiko tend to be young girls, and because they are made to wear relatively flamboyant kimono compared with geigi according to customary practice.
