- What is the difference between Maiko and Geiko?
In the period of Maiko, after graduating from junior high school, I entered the place of each flower street and made a preparation for becoming a Maiko san for a year (flower street words, etiquette, dancing, ringing, flower arrangement, tea ceremony etc.) With an apprentice with her sister geiko, she went out to a tea house and learned various conventions. After 4 to 6 years, we changed the collar and changed from maiko to geiko.
Maiko is said to have got the name of a maiko, as it used to show off only Mai at the seat. Flower sashimi in the Japanese hair of the basic hair, a band full of sleeves raised in the shoulder raised sleeve, the feature that the footwear is said to be called the feature. After graduating from Maiko, when becoming geiko, sleeves are shortened with white collar, which is characterized by a trendy belt and a trendy atmosphere.
