Maiko
Do you know the difference between "geisha" and "geisha"?
All of them are women who show off shamisen and dance at the liquor table to liven up the place, but with Geiko.
Maiko
The difference is whether it is "during apprenticeship training" or "after training". "
Maiko
The name "" is unique to Kyoto and refers to a girl who is training to become a "geisha". In modern Kyoto, from the age of 15 to the age of 20 after graduating from junior high school, there is a period of apprenticeship training until becoming a geisha, and during this period, dance, tea ceremony, dressing, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, etiquette, and tatami mats are called "preparation". The senior geisha will be trained in etiquette and customs when entertaining customers. After that, if the proprietress of Okiya or the union recognizes her ability, she will be able to become a geisha after a ritual called "Hakama". If you stand alone as a geisha, you will be registered in the Okiya and will go to the tatami room to serve customers and perform arts.
In addition, there is a difference in appearance, and "Geisha" wears a simple wig with almost no decoration, and wears a black or plain kimono. "
