Ichiume has very good balance, its very hard to lift your head in that style of katsura, and she made leaning to take the shot so graceful, despite the awkwardness in realizing you cannot lift your head
I think there may be an error in translation regarding the fun handsome man (couldn't resist). From what Japanese internet tells me, that's the son of Beicho Katsura, a legendary rakugo actor - 桂米団治, Katsuro Yonedanji (Katsuro Kobeicho II at the time of writing). Since the original documentary is French, I think the uploader mistranslated "comédien", which actually means "actor" in English. Yonedanji-san is a famous rakugo actor himself - which explains why he's so familiar with the geisha and their games; they're part of the same world. Apparently he also likes piano, oil painting, ancient history and Mozart - who he says he's the reincarnation of. I am inclined to believe it :)
If I can guess the geimaiko's ages. In the video Ichisono was 43 years old, Ichikiku was 30, Ichisayo was 27, Ichiume was 42 and Momizuru was 56 years old and the maiko's ages, Kimika was 18 whereas Miyoharu was same age as her. Kimika became no. 1 of her district of Miyagawa-cho taking Kikutsuru's rank as a maiko. P.S. Kikutsuru debuted on 2002, two years before Kimika's debut in 2004 and she became a geiko in 2007. Which means Kikutsuru was older than Kimika-san. And Kimika became a geiko in 2009, same year as Miehina san had her erikae after her.
@@karaiwonder Of course I got the information from the geisha themed Tumblr posts and I've been knowing about the kagai and geishas for two years ago! Now I've become knowledgeable about the kagai and Nihon!
I have this full DVD set too! Will you be putting up the rest? Coincidentally I was about to put this video up myself *-* What strange timing XD ...but you have it translated which is even better!
my intention is to upload the various games and various parts I really like. The time-consuming part is creating the translations and subtitles/captions. Thus, a Coronavirus era, stay at home project.
I really hope you will upload this! I would love to see it as there is such limited content available on Geisha and these are quite interesting. I would love to learn these games and songs - a little part of the culture preserved in all those who learn from them. .
How amazing this ozashiki culture is preserved in this DVD for the next generations so it doesn't bet lost. Are you going to upload the whole DVD? I'd love to watch it.
So they are 7 geimaikos, I see? But wait a bit, according to beliefs, number seven is the lucky number, so no wonder these female entertainers always smiling and laughing like they are let loose their stresses.
Too bad a beautiful, subtle and misunderstood work is lost just like in this video without the context. And so the image of the Geishas will be scratched :(
Geisha's do not sleep with their customers. In fact back then it was strictly forbidden, except for a few of them that didn't follow that rule. But most geisha's nowadays don't sleep with their customers, and only serve as entertainers.
@@cococoffee2305 really, there are only 2 layers of actual kimono. The difference with the kimono that apprentices and young geisha wear is that their kimono are much longer with trailing hems (this type of kimono is called hikizuri) so otherwise it would be pretty similar to going to the bathroom while wearing normal kimono
they have special old fashioned toilets usually in those places, but typically the geisha don't drink or eat before work- they eat breakfast and lunch if time permits but nothing in between or afterwards.
I had the chance to wear a kimono once for a college culture club festival. There aren't that many layers but it took almost 30+ minutes to put on the whole thing with assistance. I refused to drink anything the whole time because I feel like trying to use the restroom wearing it would have been hard,as it was already hard to walk. (Baby steps)
@@burritosenpai5890 avid kimono wearers seem to glide in them when they aren't held up. geisha and maiko usually are able to power walk in them- but that's when they carry the hem.

The first guy drinking looks like a fun handsome man
Yes, they all do, haha! I am having fun just watching as if I was there in real life. ^_^

So fun yet so formal
Or maybe: so formal yet so fun? ;)

The chant and the geishas are so cute
The geisha are so beautiful and interesting.
We have that in germany too. Its called "Sauf, sauf, sauf."

Wow. You know all of them as a magical royal genealogy!
Where do you get this information from?

Never thought I'd see a geisha chug a drink
Oh yea it happens all the time. Their party games are totally centered around alcohol
@@Debbie-h7f pretty bad!
Thanks! I hope you will please consider uploading more of these!

That was so fun and I wasn't even there@
お酒が強いですね❤
I love this game. But the complimenting makes me feel awkward its like a game for societies with low self esteem.
How do they not have beer bellies? If I was a geisha I’d be on the mad piss all day 😂
Too bad a beautiful, subtle and misunderstood work is lost just like in this video without the context. And so the image of the Geishas will be scratched :(
No it isn't
I don't think so, they're entertainers and performers. Nothing beyond that.
I am really not so sure... I am afraid it can be our ocidental filters lens catching a non comprehensive culture aesthetic.

@@alianar.d.8724
Well some maiko's had faced prostitutions back in history
Am I seeing 2 Maiko and 4 Geiko or I am seeing wrong?
No, there are not 4 geikos, there is another geiko in the video, Geiko Momizuru of Pontocho, which means there's 2 maiko and 5 geikos.
@@sooryapriya4513 You are correct. There are 5 geiko. I do not know how I missed her. Thanks.
Is that geiko Ichisono that perform the dance Kitano Odori with two geikos Ichiyoshi and Hisamaru on the other day?
Whats the title / japanese lyrics on the song that they sing whilst the penalty of drinking takes place?
Just got me wondering. Is it hard to use the loo with the kimono?
Yes, I imagine it would with all the layers.

？向かって右側の紫色系の衣装を着た舞妓さんはもしかして君香さんでは・・・・・

Alguien que me explique el juego en español jajaja se ve divertido
