It's so great to see dances other than Gion Kouta. I've fallen in love with that song. I definitely want to see pictures of your time at an ochaya! You're so lucky!
Ayakazu is wondeful, she dances so gracefully, especially for a young maiko. Usually there is really big difference between maiko and geiko, but she is so expressive and moves so good!
How lucky you are! I would love to see this beautiful women and learn more about this mystical culture, but traveling is really expensive. Thank you for sharing this! :)
That was a really interesting and enjoyable video to watch -- thank you. That teahouse is sure pretty, and so are the kimono of the geisha. I wish I'd been there to see this in person.
@kattmat As far as I know,there are 4 "Akebono"vides in You Tube. 1.this video 2.two maiko together 3.maiko and geiko 4.four geiko And in "Onshukai(Autumn presentation of maiko & geiko dance,oct. this year)" , 12 geiko danced "Higashiyama Meisho". "Akebono" is short version of "Higashiyama Meisho".
@HateUsFearUs, I'd love to see the photos and videos from this night. How could I? This teahouse is called Musuume, where Koemi, the musician geisha lives.
Arigatoo gozaimishita for posting! Wonderful to see a new long dance clip. This is also I think the best singing by a geisha that I have heard so far.
I watched SO MANY videos of geishas dancing today and this one, in the blue, is the best dancer I've seen hands down. Lucky to have seen her.
I think this dance is not so easy like it looks. What they do with their fine hands is just beautyful!
Have to watch over and over again and again
I love this video, this dance is so beautiful. Your lucky to have seen such beauty.

This is a very complex dance. The one in blue is wonderful.

@HateUsFearUs ACtually I think she met the name of the song, which yes is Akebono :)

こんにちは!! This absolutely beautiful! Can anyone tell me what is the first dance called? Thanks for posting this. ありがとう! ^_^
It’s called Akebono and it’s also known as Higashiyama Meisho.
This is a really lovely dance. Does anyone know what this dance is about?
What a wonderful experience! I am indeed jealous, which district were these two lovely ladies from do you know?
Hi! A question, please! Did the Maikos or Geishas told you the story/theme of this dance in particular? Is beautiful. Thanks!
Lucky you!
What this dance was about?
the geishas are like porcelain dolls >.
