         		 Geiko and maiko stand at the crossroads between past and present. Given the rigors of the profession and its adherence to customs that become increasingly outdated with each generation, the modern-day geisha is fast approaching extinction: at its peak, the sisterhood was 80,000 members strong; today in Kyoto, there are fewer than 300 working geisha, half of whom are located in Gion. It is unclear what the future may hold, but these geisha, already standing on the lip of time, may all too soon join the ranks of those no longer of this world and spoken of only as myth.: by tonykuehn, Views[1201]
         		 Draped in impossibly elaborate kimono—the most lavish of which can cost upwards of $100,000 USD—and with her face painted porcelain white, catching a glimpse of a maiko as she glides through the worn, well-traveled streets of Gion is akin to gazing upon not a flesh and blood woman, but a ghost. Poised and perfectly put together, geiko and maiko exude elegance and are the living embodiment of centuries of Japanese culture and tradition. So long as they continue to haunt its lanes and alleyways, Gion’s secret histories can endure.: by tonykuehn, Views[1126]
         		 Despite her popularity, the life of a Kyoto geisha (known locally as geiko) is a lonely one. Considered the ultimate hostess, she says goodbye to her family and commences her training at the tender age of 16. After a rigorous apprenticeship spanning half a decade, a maiko becomes a full-fledged geiko. With this, she earns the right to her own home, but it will be an empty one, for a geiko may never marry. : by tonykuehn, Views[525]
