This is a very unique opportunity to witness the make up and the dressing ritual of a Kyoto maiko (or apprentice geiko, as geisha are known in Kyoto) as they prepare for a professional engagement. The experience offers an exclusive opportunity to chat in person with the maiko and their dressers and learn about the art of dressing maiko in their distinctive finery, and the choice of fabrics and kanzashi hair ornaments to specifically match the season and function.
