Entering the world of the geisha
Michio is just 19 years of age but already she has spent four years learning the art of a geiko – or geisha – in the Japanese city of Kyoto.
(Locals prefer the word ‘geiko’ instead of ‘geisha’ because it is, they say, more chic.)
In modern Japan, geiko (geisha) and maiko, the trainees, are now a rare sight outside the geisha districts of cities – victims of a modern, fast-paced world.
