Beautiful Kyoto: Being a Maiko (featuring Fukunae-san)

Though a lot of what goes on in Kyoto's geisha districts takes place in private teahouses and behind gilded screens, it's no secret that maiko (geisha apprentices) lead strict and challenging lifestyles in the pursuit of their art.

Last year the Kyoto Fan (Discover Kyoto) team had the privilege of interviewing one of Miyagawa-chō's hard working maiko, Fukunae-san, to see what kind of training and preparation she goes through in order to one day become a top class geisha (or geiko, as they are called in Kyoto). Follow along as Fukunae-san takes us through an average day in her life, including music study, hair and make-up, dressing, and entertaining in the evenings. We hope you too will one day have a chance to experience this amazing Kyoto tradition.

Real Geisha Real Women (2009)–Documentary–Complete Film, English Subtitles

Real Geisha Real Women is a documentary by Peter MacIntosh about the lives of several women in Kyoto, Japan of various generations who are, or have been, maiko and geiko (the Kyoto terms for geisha).

Their stories are told in their own words as a series of vignettes without the use of a narrator. Rare footage of their journeys outside of Kyoto includes a hometown visit, a trip to Tokyo, as well as travels abroad.

Peter Macintosh has lived in Kyoto, Japan, among the geisha community for over three decades. He has worked as a liaison and coordinator on geisha-related documentaries, including productions for BBC, BNN, Swiss Television, National Geographic, A&E, and many more. He also worked with the location scouting team for Hollywood's Memoirs of a Geisha.

Differences between a Geiko (Geisha) and a Maiko (with subtitles) 【HD】

In this video Geiko Miehina and Maiko Fukunae, both from the Miyagawa ward of Kyoto, explain to us the differences between a Geiko (Geisha) and a Maiko (apprentice), at the Kyoto Fan Event Maiko Spring 2012, at KYOTO DESIGN HOUSE.

Hair, make up, Kimono and accessories are the topics covered on their explanation.

Knowing these details can also help you to tell the difference between tourists dressed in Geisha costume and the real Geiko/Maiko walking on the streets of Kyoto.

The Life of a Modern Japanese Geisha

The geisha are alive and well in Japan – though foreigners rarely catch even a glimpse of them. Meet Kobai-san, a 63-year-old geisha, and discover the truth about the mysterious Willow World...

• Why do young girls become geisha nowadays?
• How do you hire a geisha?
• How can you tell a geisha from a maiko (apprentice geisha)?

A few things you probably didn’t know about the geisha
• They are NOT prostitutes. They are hired for their artistic skills and considerable social graces.
• Geisha live in communities of women and are entirely independent of men (though they may have boyfriends).
• Geisha can be in their 70s – they often earn more as they get older.
• Apprentice geisha are far more elaborately dressed than fully-fledged geisha.

What to do in KYOTO: Watch a Maiko performance and get drunk with a GEISHA! ⎮Jessa Bonelli

Looking for the best thing to do Kyoto? How does meeting a real life Japanese geisha sound? Do you wanna know about their diet, skincare, lifestyle and so much more? Do you wanna know about their secret world?

Then, Book a Private dining with a Maiko at Gion District pretty please!
THIS IS THE PART 2 OF ME TRYING TO DOCUMENT THEIR SECRET LIFE! MAKE SURE TO WATCH PART 1 IF YOU ENJOYED THIS ONE! ❤️

Having a private dinner with a maiko (apprentice geisha) is one of Japan’s most exclusive and unforgettable experiences. You’ll be served booze like you’re a royalty! She will entertain you with dances and a few traditional games wearing her extravagant silk kimono. Her intricate hairstyle and white painted doll face will leave you dumbfounded! That night, I went home with a deep discernment of the interesting world of geishas. Indeed, it was such a great eve to celebrate the art, history and beauty of the Japanese culture!

HERE ARE MORE THINGS TO DO IN KYOTO FOR YOUR FUTURE TRAVELS:

1. Gaze at The Golden Pavilion
Kinkaku-ji Temple or most popularly called as the Golden Pavilion is Kyoto’s most iconic sight! The temple is situated at the centre of a pond in the midst of a serene greenery! It’s like stepping into a picture as you arrive! The building is draped in gold leaf that shines and shimmers in broad daylight! Come early in the morning and watch the sun rays make the golden temple reflect beautifully in the water! Nothing will prepare you for the moment you turn at the lake and see the Temple for the first time! Such a magnificent view!

2. Rickshaw ride at the Bamboo Forest
Go as early in the morning as you possibly can. Watch the bamboo stalks as they rock back and forth. Close your eyes, stand still and listen to the wind rustling in the bamboo leaves. Such a very calming experience when it’s quiet. Although the actual stretch of bamboo forest path is quite short, it is absolutely dreamy!

3. Wander around Kiyomizu-dera Temple
When I read online about this temple with a large wooden balcony where you can see Kyoto from above, I knew right there and then that I needed to check it out! I was so shocked to find out that this building was constructed without the use of a single nail! Seriously, how can it withstand the weight of thousands of visitors every day, right?

4. Be mesmerised by the Fushimi-Inari Taisha Shrine
This place needs no introduction! Since it is arguably the most famous shrine in Japan, I’ve seen hundreds of photos of it and I knew I had to see it in real life! There was something about this place that made me feel like I was travelling to a different era! I came late in the afternoon and still had a peaceful experience even though camera shutters were endlessly snapping! The tunnel consisting of 10,000 torii gates is really something one must see!

5. Stay a night or two in a Ryokan
First off, a Ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn that takes you back in time. It is an authentic cultural experience that you would not find anywhere else in the world! The room is minimally furnished, and you will be sleeping in futon beds laid directly on tatami floors. There are complimentary kimonos you could wear at your own leisure and a low table is a staple where you can eat or drink tea! It is a golden rule not to wear or bring your shoes in the room, so please remember that! And don’t fret about spending your night on the floor, the futon beds are very soft and complete with fluffy duvets for a great night sleep!

6. Experience an authentic Tea Ceremony with a Tea Master
It was truly such an honour to join a tea master as she performed a traditional tea ceremony right in front of us! I kid you not when I say that I felt like I was a tea convert when I left the place!

Of all my travels in Asia, Japan remains to be the country that I’ve been looking forward to seeing again! My visit to Kyoto has made me fall in love with the country even more! Now I know why it carries a reputation as the nation’s most beautiful city!
I truly hope I have helped you plan your trip to Kyoto. It doesn’t matter what season you visit, it’s timeless beauty, rich history and unique architecture will surely amaze and fascinate you anytime of the year! And that’s a promise!

Japonia 21 - KIOTO, GEJSZA Z DZIELNICY GION

W latach po II Wojnie Światowej prostytutki z japońskich miast (w dużej części Chinki) ażeby podnieść swoją wartość wmawiały amerykańskim żołnierzom, że są gejszami. Stąd do dzisiaj przekonanie obcokrajowców (a zwłaszcza Amerykanów), że gejsza i prostytutka to to samo. Rzeczywistość jest zupełnie inna. Gejsza (geiko) to, owszem, dama do towarzystwa za pieniądze - ale z seksem nie ma to z reguły nic wspólnego. Geiko to doskonale wyszkolona dziewczyna potrafiąca dyskutować na dowolne tematy (obecnie często w języku angielskim), do tego śpiewa, tańczy, gra na instrumentach. Nieobca jej jest sztuka kaligrafii, ikebana czy origami. Dla bogatych i samotnych Japończyków to balsam na duszę. Obraz gejszy w odbiorze świata zachodniego dodatkowo wypaczył hollywoodzki film Wyznania gejszy. Choć film zdobył 3 Oscary to, jak to zwykle bywa z amerykańskimi produkcjami dla mas, jego wartość merytoryczna jest znikoma.

Dans l'Intimité d'un Ghesha/The Private Life of a Geisha (1921)

Une geisha est réveillée, se lève, est quittée par son partenaire du nuit, se lave, met son kimono et part pour se promener. Un film où le mot « charme » a deux sens, tourné à l’origine pour une édition de Pathé-Gazette qui parut dans les cinémas en 1921, et présenté ici dans la version Pathé Baby vendue pour le système 9.5mm. / A geisha is woken, gets up, is left by her partner of the night, washes, puts on her kimono and goes for a walk. An attractive vision is created, which just avoids voyeurism. The footage was first shown in cinemas in a 1921 edition of Pathé Gazette, then turned into this 9.5 mm film to be shown at home.
