I would not call it dance, it is too calm and sleepy for it. Also it lacks synchronization, and rhythm and often looses its smoothness. It is more like a performance. Kimonos are beautiful, I agree.
It’s amazing how much more interesting this becomes when you understand even a bit of the context. (I am not fluent in Japanese but in another video the uploader kindly translated the lyrics). I thought it was elegant before but now I can actually appreciate some of the story :-)
Well, maiko and geiko retire for different reasons, often very private ones, so these are not discussed in public. Famous Geiko Kikuyu of Hanafusa okiya in Miyagawacho retired to get married for example. Rumors say, that Mamefuji of Gion Kobu retired to be with her family after earthquakes hit her families town. But in most cases there is no reason given to public.
Dear@@putrasari5275, She said that I had no time in Work of Maiko. She said that I wanted to date a good person and I will want to do a job like illustration. She study illastration now.
As a westerner it is a treat to be able to enjoy such a different form of dancing and such beautiful clothing and graceful movement from my own home. Love from Australia :)

I am starting to learn about Maiko and everything is so interesting. Especially the movements. Everything is so precise and beautiful. I hope to learn more about the history and the meanings.
I think they have become Maiko already, because they are not wearing the Kanzashi. And their lipstick is applied on both lower and upper lips. They become Geiko after the age of 20, I believe. From 15 to 20 years of age- they are Maiko.
They are maiko, the darari obi is always associated with maiko symbolizing apprentice ship along with the long sleeves of their hikizuri to say "look at me im dressed flashy and rely on my looks more than my skill, whilst in geisha they are always dressed more subtle and mature" Maiko paint their top lip after the first year fulfilled as a maiko. They have Kanzashi (hair ornaments) that reflect the month and season, the maiko on the right and middle are senior maiko because of their whiteish collars and geisha have fully white collars to show maturity. The maiko on the left has a more red colar which means shes the youngest of the three in her training. The maiko on the right I think is named Kyouka and she did graduate to a geisha but soon after retired. She even got a modeling contract because of her perfect complexion
@@Oshidorinohina hi see that you know a lot about this, can you tell me if there is some website or book where I can learn more about this beautiful culture? Thank you :D
@@ls76638 Sure! I'm so sorry about responding late! A lot of what I've learned came from books since at the time I became interested the topic of geisha (the year 2000) had very limited resources and even fewer reliable and truthful ones. Some books I recommend if you like to read, would be... 1) Mineko Iwasaki's: "Geisha, a Life" which is partly what MoaG is based off of. 2) Sayo Masuda's: "Autobiography of a geisha" which is also where MoaG draws it's inspiration from. It's about a double registered geisha who worked at a bathhouse as a geisha and partly as a prostitute. It's a fantastic but short read. 3) Liza Dalby: Geisha - is hands down one of the best books out there and is 30 years old- an anthropologist interviews many different geisha and apprentices and retired geisha and karyukai workers. She even gets to experience what it is like to be and live as a geisha for a short time. She approaches the subject with respect and an open mind. 4) A Geisha's Journey - My life as a Kyoto apprentice by Komomo. A mostly picture book with light reading revolving around the retired geiko named Komomo. 5) Geisha and Maiko of Kyoto by John Paul Foster. Excellent book with interviews with actual maiko and geiko of Kyoto. And a really great resource is if you care to have a tumblr, there is a wonderful and informative person whom I look to for any knowledge named MissMyloko. She is usually happy to answer questions regarding the subject. All of the books I listed I own personally and have read multiple times. There are no good movies about geisha except Gion Bayashi 祇園囃子 but as a movie it's dramatized and gets one or two things wrong, possibly just for plot purposes.
u mean gieko mieha will were not sure because she's from kamasichieken and sometimes only the gieko's of gion sings this (I'm not telling only the gion sings this gion kouta song but you know some rarely choose this)
If you look for it, there are a couple of geisha restaurants and hotels that allow tourists, but most don't, because they work on an honor system. You receive the bill later so they don't know if you're going to pay.
А теперь русский коммент который никто не поймёт 🤣🤣 показалось танцы какие-то скучноватые может конечно в чём-то я не права, ну это типа ваши традиционные танцы японцы 🙃
すばらしい踊りありがとうございました。このくらいの心のゆとりほしいものです。
日本が世界に誇る、唯一無二の素晴らしい文化だと思います。
こんな凄い日本の文化は見たことがない‼️
最初の「キンキラキン」は、私が個人的に一二番に好きな民謡です。歌も本当に民謡が分かって歌っているし、また独特の色気と言うか完全に、歌の世界に入ってる。可愛い子供達の踊りも一生懸命に、踊っていて時々よろけそうになるけど。可愛いすぎて涙さえ出てきそうになる。
これは永久保存版です。
私は現在73歳になる老人だが、七代続いた江戸っ子です。母方の「家系」を見るとどうやら九州熊本の細川家の、場内家老だったようで、この歳で初めて熊本へ行き、滞在2日間は震災後だったが、書ききれないほどいろいろあり、感動のしっぱなしだった！
現代音楽やバロック音楽の勉強をしてきたが、日本民謡は凄い！
日本列島北から南まで、その土地の風土情緒、生活などを歌に表してこんにちに伝えてる。
因みに一番好きな民謡は「陽気節」とか「長崎ぶらぶら節」等です。日本人ならこれからも、素晴らしい日本民謡を聞き継ましょう。
The black obi is absolutely stunning!
what is black obi' name
i don't now
@@aihuongduong8944 It's Kyouka, as you may know. The best maiko at that time.

月はおぼろに東山

夢もいざよう紅桜
しのぶ思いを振袖に

夏は河原の夕涼み
白い襟あしぼんぼりに
かくす涙の口紅も
燃えて身をやく大文字
祇園恋しや だらりの帯よ
3.
鴨の河原の水やせて
咽（むせ）ぶ瀬音に鐘の声
枯れた柳に秋風が
泣くよ今宵も夜もすがら
祇園恋しや だらりの帯よ

つもる逢うせの差向（さしむか）い
灯影（ほかげ）つめたく小夜（さよ）ふけて

Their kimonos are so gorgeous. The dance is equally exquisite. ^^

@@lubystkaolamonola529 it is a dance though. it simply conveys it through emotions and how the dancer poses.
Makino san (in the middle) is now a geiko.
.. and she's retiring in 10 days to get married. 😔

Exactly! I want to know more about the story. I don't know much about Maiko but from what I can see there is a lot of history and story behind it.
Very good presentation. Love this
これは本当に素晴らしい
これ踊ったなあ懐かしい
want to dance like them
舞子や芸者は庶民にとっては高嶺に花、ユーチューブで見られて最高です。
京都で遊びたいなー。一見さんはお断りで終わりそう。
ゲイコクジンにはビィジュアルでしか理解できない文化です。
The lady on the right in light pink is Kyouka san of Gion Kobu. She sadly is retired now.
why did she retire?
Well, maiko and geiko retire for different reasons, often very private ones, so these are not discussed in public.
Famous Geiko Kikuyu of Hanafusa okiya in Miyagawacho retired to get married for example. Rumors say, that Mamefuji of Gion Kobu retired to be with her family after earthquakes hit her families town. But in most cases there is no reason given to public.

I think one of them is Kyouka-san, and another one is Makino-san? But Makino-san left the industry after becoming a geiko.
I am starting to learn about Maiko and everything is so interesting. Especially the movements. Everything is so precise and beautiful. I hope to learn more about the history and the meanings.
来年はまた開催できるとよいですね。一般向けにも夏前くらいのビザカードの雑誌に募集でていますね。

This is young Geisha, They may be Maiko yet. Because their wast belt is long and dropped down, not tied up.

Interesting comment. Why do you think so?
信仰は、望んでいることの基礎であり、目に見えないものの証拠です。この信仰を通して、古代人は良い証を得ました。信仰によって、私たちは世界が神の言葉によって形成され、目に見えるものは目に見えないものから生じたことを知っています。信仰によって、アベルはカインよりも優れた犠牲を神に捧げ、それに基づいて彼は義であると宣言され、神ご自身が神の賜物を高く評価していると証言しました。なぜなら、彼は死んでいるにもかかわらず、まだ話しているからです。

when i was child i was afraid of geishas hahahaha :)

なんで？？舞妓さん、芸妓さんという生き方が昔から残ってるのに、武士は消えてしまったんだろう？？歌舞伎は芸能という分野では同じだが、街に歩いてはいないし、お茶屋でも見ない、こーいう踊りの傍らに武士が静かに座って盃を傾けてたら絵になるんだけどな・・・
虎馬
武士はいわゆる特権階級でしたから、世界から貴族が消えたのと同じですよ。
それと芸舞妓さんが街を歩くのは、彼女たちが住む置屋からお呼びがかかったお茶屋さんに向かう途中です。要するに、出勤ですね。
Why the music resembles someone playing a rubber in the old panties.? Kimonos are great by the way.
