The photographer: “The finale of kabuki performance by the geiko (geisha) of Miyagawa-cho, Kyoto. Kabuki roles, even those of women, are played by men, but this selection was performed entirely by the most accomplished geiko of Miyagawa.”

The photographer: “Two tourists, dressed as maiko (apprentice geisha) explore Kiyomizudera, the Temple of Pure Waters, in Kyoto. I usually don’t take pictures of tourists playing dress-up, but they were so beautiful! ”

A model posed in the garden of Kinkakuji Shrine (Golden Pavilion). After I took this photo, someone told me she wasn’t a maiko (a young geisha-in-training), but just a young woman posing in traditional formal Japanese wear for a commercial.
