Description

No, not Geisha really - they're Maiko. I just wondered if a lot of the tourists who were around this area knew or not.

Didn't really want to use flash, but had no choice as the sun was setting faster than this pair walked.

I think I'm more amused at the expression of the woman on the right. Just reminds me of that old footage we've all seen of The Beatles fans screaming :P

Gion, Kyoto, Japan.

Beautiful photo! Maiko hunting is such fun! The one at front with the orange touches to her kimono is Wakana! The Maiko behind her is Katsugiku, with the green touches to her kimono. Maiko is the name for apprentice Geisha! Nice photo!
