      Me han encantado los dos vídeos, tanto el primero sobre cómo han maquillado a Harumi como Maiko. Como el segundo vídeo en el que se muestra la vestimenta típica de Japón (el kimono).
      In English, I love both videos, the first one is my favourite because it shows you how the Maiko prepare her faces with this special make up and oils. She is very beautiful as a Maiko.

    Right now I'm reading Geisha, a life by Mineko Iwasaki and what a beautiful world is that of Maiko and Geisha. I really enjoyed this video and if I fulfill my dream of going to Kyoto I'll try to go there. Thank you Shogo!

    • @cherie4665
      @cherie4665 2 года назад +6

      Have you read Geisha by Liza Dalby? That's a very iconic book by an anthropologist on geisha culture (she became a maiko in Kyoto herself and even has a geisha name of her own!). I think you'll enjoy that too.

  • @book3100
    @book3100 2 года назад +403

    Beautiful!
    But I've got so used to seeing maiko and knowing they're so young, that when you're wife was dressed, it made me see her as 16 or 18 years old. Not a bad thing! It was such a transformation!
    I'd like to see her as geiko too, although I don't know if that's possible.

    • @GrandDuchessT

    こちらこそありがとうございます
    Special thanks for including the link to the website for the geiko and maiko experience where one can browse the gorgeous kimono, obi and kanzashi.
    I wonder whether it would be possible for a man to visit the centre just to admire these items when there are no other customers. I could spend hours studying their stunning designs and the crafts which go into their creation.
    The staff all seemed so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, too.

    • @mk098a
      @mk098a 2 года назад +7

      They probably wouldn’t because their business depends on dressing people, but there are plenty of stores you can go to look at kimono and kanzashi

    • @jinbutsufumei
      @jinbutsufumei 2 года назад +7

      @@mk098a Thank you for taking the time and trouble to reply to my comment. Now that you point this out I suppose it should have been obvious - but I'm afraid that if I visited those stores I would have to be sure not to take too much money with me in case the fabrics were just too irresistible.

  • @kolli7150
    @kolli7150 2 года назад +51

    Harumi definitely is as if not more beautiful than any maiko I have seen on this channel. She just has naturally beautiful facial features regardless of her age. Moreover, in my eyes, it's much more enriching to spend time with Harumi because of her life experiences and more complex dreams, ambitions and obligations as well as her academic education she has compared to an 18 year old woman who cannot have this level life experience. So thank you Harumi to share this video with us. :)

I look forward to seeing Harumi-san taking lead hosting some of future videos. There might be some ideas worth exploring. It was a pleasant experience watching Shogo-san in supporting role while taking time to bond with his children. 😊

    Harumi san's features have a wonderful balance of beauty, grace, dignity and radiance in these videos.

    Oh well blue is wonderful too. She's stunning as a geiko.

    Oh Harumi looked beautiful. This looks like a wonderful experience and yes, I agree with her, if I were a teenage Japanese, I would become a Maiko. Since I can remember, like 3 or 4 yo, I've always loved seeing Geisha/Geiko figures, images and I loved Asian architecture and gardens, oh how I love the gardens. So I've always been learning and love it. 😌☺❤

      You could always just buy a kimono and do it yourself. They're not cheap but they're not crazy expensive either. I have a few, takes a lot of practice to get the obi right though, especially doing it yourself

  • @ronsorage78
    @ronsorage78 2 года назад +8

    Harumi looked amazing. What an experience that must have been for her. Now she has all those photos to remind her. There is so much that goes into dressing. The weight must be considerably for just clothing. Tomoko looked cute as always. I hope she gets to do that at some point (if she wants to of course). It looked like it was a lot of fun.

      Ofc not. This is a business in Japan where you can dress up as a Maiko, so this is definetly not cultural "apportiation". Anyone that tells you otherwise doesn't know anything. There's nothing that makes people happier than seeing others appreciate their culture.

      @GrandDuchessT 2 года назад +77

      @@scouttyra it's not. Dressing up and respectfully just taking photos is not. When you ask japanese what they think of foreigners wearing kimono (respectfully) they are actually very happy.
