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.

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.

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.

Inside the Secret Life of a Geisha
This is a rather interesting story of a beautiful girl who is a geisha. You may learn a little something.
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.

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.
The Other Side of Japan: Life in Kamagasaki's Informal Settlements.
Subscribe to
Japan is known for its strong emphasis on cleanliness, efficiency, and tidiness. It is not common to see slums in Japan as in other countries, due to strict zoning laws and building regulations. However, there have been instances of informal settlements or poor living conditions in some parts of Japan.
One example is the Kamagasaki district, located in the southern part of Osaka. This area is known as a gathering place for day laborers, mostly men, who work in construction, factories, or other low-paid jobs. Kamagasaki, is considered one of the poorest areas in Japan, with a high rate of unemployment, homelessness, and social isolation.
This episode has been filmed in September 2019.

Meet Maiko in Kyoto | Mom is a former maiko
This video is a vlog of a trip to Kyoto by a Japanese family living in Tokyo. Today's video is kind of special. Because I'm taking you back to my home, where I spent time as a maiko geiko. I think that not many people, no matter how many trips they have taken to Japan, have experienced this culture. I have learned many important things in my life in this town called Gion. It is a place that always reminds me of my beginnings.
I can't post info on the maiko place, but the link to the beautiful Ryokan where we stayed is below. I couldn't find their website in English, so here is a link to a blog that someone wrote about it in detail. Please check it out!

Japan The Way of Zen : Zen Buddhism Documentary
Pierre Brouwers has travelled the length and breadth of Honshu – the largest of the islands forming Japan – to provide an in-depth discovery of the “land of the rising sun”. Cities like Kyoto and Hiroshima are fascinating for their history. Everywhere, traditions are very carefully preserved, especially when it comes to festivals. But these days robots have largely replaced workers on car assembly lines and the younger generations lap up the innovations of the 21st century. The population, one of the world’s most dense, finds its balance in the words wisdom and harmony. Not forgetting the word that is the key to it all, Zen.

Dozo - Geishas
The confusion between Geisha & Oiran who are of higher-rank and the Memoirs of a Geisha movie perpetuated the cliché that they are prostitute, but it is not true ❌
The Japanese courtesans don't only entertain men, but are real masters in traditional arts and great conversationalists with broad general knowledge! ????
Today, the profession is slowly disappearing, with less than 200 geisha now.
Did you know they used to be men too⁉️
