Koaki-san is such a stylish and charming young maiko. And a beautiful and graceful dancer. It was so beautiful to watch, a privilege really. I can't imagine how it would be to see that in person, surely even more impressive. Thank you Yamaguchi Shogo-san!
I totally agree! She is very charming and I think she's very cute too! I wonder what the lyrics to the song she was dancing to said. It seemed like she was telling a story almost with her subtle facial expressions at some point she seemed sadder at some point she seemed wistful. If anyone can explain what the lyrics were saying and if it was a story being told through song and dance that would be great
totally: a girl's story with pain.. her expressions came from a deep real place.
To be treated like lords even for a short while regardless of status...to be immersed in a dream of song, dance and drink...It's no wonder they called it the Floating World.
These men are literally: "You can look at the sun but not at her"
This is a line that appears in almost every Hungarian Volk-tale and describes how beautiful a girl was. As in, her beauty was shining brighter then the light of the sun. (17:20)
I didn't realize until she went away that I had been charmed. She has so much charisma and such an ease about her.
The best thing about art- is that you don’t need to know the language, in order to appreciate how beautiful it is.
What a wonderful experience this was to watch! I would love to enjoy this in person one day!💖🙏
Koaki-san's dancing was so expressive! I have only just begun to learn Japanese, so I could not understand the lyrics to the music, and yet I got a strong sense of the songs just from the maiko-san's dance. How fortunate you are to get to attend ozashiki at all, but on top of that, such a charming and knowledgeable maiko-san. What a fantasy you visited!
Watching this now when she is a geiko!! I am so proud of her and I love her so much! She is so special her laugh sounds like little bells, and her smile is like a cherry blossom! She melted all of my heart away and has a very special place in it even though she does not even know me! Wishing you all the best girly! You mean the absolute world to me!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ll
Same for me, even though I have never met her, I love her so much!! 💕
Maiko and Geiko are what first attracted me to Japan when I was young. I've learned so much about the willow world since then!
Thanks alot for Sharing! i felt like having to support you at least a bit, since you're sharing so much very interesting content with us. and i felt amazing and moved by this video in particular. Looking forward to more from you all!
what is chf and how did you get the yellow section on your comment? I assume it's from making a donation, but how do you do that?

@@Leighluvluvsu thanks!
@@catchyname5403 oh I didn't know that, thanks!
Koaki-san is from Miyagawa-cho, one of the geisha districts that's the most open to share geisha culture with the outside world. You can tell her seniority by looking at her collar - it's white, so she's in the profession for at least 3 yrs. 3-5 years. Then she will become a geiko. Beginners will have colorful and reddish collars.
Shogo, Kazu and Tomoko, thank you for sharing this experience with us. I hope whenever my second trip to Japan will be, that I can be in the company of a Maiko but this video was enough to keep me patiently waiting. I've learned so much.
I've had the honour of speaking with both maiko and geisha during my visits to the country prior to COVID and hope to do so again when I'm able to visit again. Many of the questions asked here were similar to what I would have asked myself! It's great to hear Koaki-san's reponses and it's so nice to hear that she was at least able to find some positives in these challenging times.
Thank you so much, Koaki-san, for agreeing to do this video and for treating us to this very special moment of getting to see you perform. For someone like me, who will never have the money or the opportunity to travel to Kyoto, much less afford a Maiko or Geiko experience, this was very moving. I welled up with tears, honestly. ♥♥♥
I was honestly so mesmerised with her dancing, she is graceful!! I can only imagine what it would have been like to see her dancing the same room, this was such a treat~
EDIT: The more I watch the more I realise her dance is telling a story that I’m just not grasping. Gosh, this was so amazing. Even the way she left the room after her dance felt so dignified~
Thanks for the video. I always wanted to know what it's like meet a Maiko, but I really feel like I'm not worthy. Something about her was so magical. I think I might have been speechless in front of her too. I thought it was funny how Kazu kept talking and Shogo kept eating.
That is such a beautiful kimono. The maiko seems like a lovely person. The singing and shamisen playing is very beautiful!
omg her business card is so cute. lovely young maiko! ^_^
They're stickers too! Aren't they cool? ^^
Beautiful! Please let Koaki-san know she has many new fans! 🤩 I wonder if she enjoys other kinds of dancing as well, or what her favorite thing about traditional Japanese dancing is?
Koaki-san is a beautiful talented maiko. Even though she is on training, she already achieved to entertain her gests, to keep them company. She is so gorgeous. I loved her dance. It was like a real timetravel.💖💖💖
This was so just amazing. I feel like I went back in time. Thanks so much Shogo, Tomoko, & Kazu, & especially Kaoki-san! I tried to type that as she spells it in Japanese, (*smartphone does not compute*) but can't seem to get it correctly. My apologies. Awesome video. Thanks again to all 4 of you all and the establishment!
Kazu being flustered was great, i would so flustred too! What wonderful video, so much to learn.
I love and adore Geisha culture, sending joy and great respect from Washington DC.
Beautiful! What a privilege to be able to spend time with a maiko at a teahouse. And something that is unique to Japan. I live in America, and have yearned to visit Japan literally all of my life. Before I was born my father traveled to Yokohama. While there he purchased a Japanese doll for my mother. I admired this doll from a very young age. I was fascinated by her delicate beauty; and so different from me. Now I am in my 60s, and I still yearn to walk the streets of Kyoto and experience up-close Japanese culture. This channel is one of my favorites and I can honestly say that this video is one of the most personable I have seen with regards to the flower and willow world. Thank you for sharing with us. 🌙💜☮️
0:40 I love it when guys are wearing kimono with patterns on them. This father is the epitome of chic and elegance in make Kimono !
Fabulous !
What a beautiful maiko. Her Kimono and dancing was beautiful as well. What a privilege to watch. I hope the Maiko and geisha can keep delivering people their arts through dance and entertainment.
Aaaaw, I think Kazu is in love 😂
Very informative, thank you as usual for your great videos about japenese culture! :)
I love how Kazu and shogo act like little school children at the end. Koala-San seems to be a fun and relaxing to be around as well and charming young maiko.
Yay! It's Koaki. She's incredible and one of my favorites. And her dancing. What a treat. Sugoi. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for continuing to show all the lovely nooks and crannies of Kyoto! It's videos like these that allow us on the other side of the world to share your experience!
I just found your YT channel yesterday (or, more accurately, YT's algorithm found it for me), and I have been binge-watching your content. Thank you for all the work you put into your uploads. I enjoy your presentation, and I have learned so many interesting things from you about Japanese culture. When I was a college student in Michigan USA, one of my closest school friends was a wonderful young woman from Osaka. Our friendship led to my deepening interest in Japanese culture. I wish you all the best for your channel!
She has such pretty eyes! Aaa, you're so lucky to have gotten to do this!
this was very profound , personal and spiritual for me because of my background is difficult to catch up with ancient traditions living here in USA :-( :-) thank you shogo
Boy am i glad this young lady is at least in her late teens. Can you imagine being entertained by a child and making her work when she can still actually get lost in the district and not even know where she lived. Thankfully things have changed for the better in the Karyukai !
But when i arrived in Japan i actually needed a Darari Obi with my address on it because i was getting lost all the time.
Iirc they would live in the houses with their teachers and other Maiko
Many Thanks for this wonderful video. The MAIKO was lovely. I am sure that she will be a successful Geiko when her time comes.
Your actions and reactions let us know how very special this was to you and to your team. "Only in Japan"....
What an awesome experience! Koaki is like a celebrity. She has the sense and charm or a celebrity. I hope to be apart of such an experience next time I visit.
The world of Maiko/Geiko is so interesting and beautiful. Thank you so much for making this video!
I love Koaki so much!! She warms my heart with her bubbly, jolly personality and her cute voice!🥰 I wish her a long and successfull career 😘
You have a great gift in that you are a Japanese person who has so much knowledge of many interesting parts of Japanese culture and can make it accessible to people across the world.
No joke the dance i could feel her aura? Energy? Charisma??? through the screen it was so nice i felt really calm😭
The intimacy of a wonderful performance, so close up, is a special treat and can last a lifetime in your memories 😎👍
Glad for you to have experienced this😎👍
Thank you for sharing.
It has made my day better 😎👍
😎👍❤🖖
I get the feeling I just witnessed something otherworldly and sacred.
This was really great to watch your experience! :D I'm so happy to see as many people as possible enjoying kagai culture because I have loved it for years. I've done ozashiki 3 times and it just wasn't enough! Please keep supporting them! :D
Can’t believe Koaki has been a Geiko for 6 months now! She had her Erikae in June
I remember back in the day when she was not even a trainee, running around Miyagawa-cho in her usual clothes doing her choirs. She was still going to school living at the okiya.
The okiya mother back then looked like she found the "one".
Oh mannnnn I'm jealous! I would feel so special to be entertained like that!
I'm so happy to see you expanding yourself Shogo and becoming involved in the karyukai!! I'm really interested to see what connections you make and future content that may focus on this niche culture!
Shogo, I think this was the absolutely most ecstatically happy that I have ever seen you in any of your videos. It was so enjoyable to see you both have such a nice time.
She really warmed my cold heart by being so sweet and lovely. I teared up ❤️
Man this is so nostalgic i had my first experience when i was 15 and i have never had one since. Hopefully when this is all over i can come back to kyoto and have this again.
She is so graceful, talented, and beautiful.
Oh! Shogo! I can't tell you how much this video has meant to me to experience! I have loved all things Japanese( especially the art and painting techniques!) For over 50 years now,and I am also an avid Origami -er! But this! I may never have been able to experience this without you showing it to us ! I am full of tears of amazement and joy at this superb beautiful lady!
She’s like a doll omg sooo prettyyy
What a beautiful experience! What a privilege to see the dance, at no charge to us, your viewers!! I'm so thankful she allowed you to film it. With multiple camera angles and zoom shots too; a masterful job at filming and editing of a lovely performance. One question: Are the dances strictly choreographed, or is there room for interpretation and improvisation? Thank you again, so much, for sharing this with us!🥰
Even I felt sad and I am not even there. I was so caught up in the moment. I would like to experience this unparalleled power they possess to be captivated. That is why I like Japan.
Another brilliant video Shogo. I may have added one more thing on my Japan bucket list. Thank You
Oh this was a wonderful video ..thank you Shogo.
Geishas are truly from the heavens , my eyes are blessed and my day is made
**LIKES THE VIDEO**
this is one of the most interesting things i’ve ever watched, thank you so much for your videos! and the dances were so breathtaking and beautiful
It's amazing...Wonderful! Thank you Shogo and Kazu for this great video 🇯🇵🙏
Koaki-San: *leaves*
Everyone: *feels lonely*
I think that tells me a lot about what this is really like! Thank you for this video! 🙏
gosh what a treat, seriously! thank you so much for posting this video, not only educational but beautiful.
So glad I watched this beautiful experience. Thank you for taking us along!
¡Hontou ni arigato gozaimasu! thank you so much for this video, loved every minute of it, poor kazu he was in love with the meiko! again thank you for taking your time to showing everyone this great and beautiful tradition and culture
Thank you so much. That was breathtakingly beautiful!
never thought i'd be seeing something like this in my life. but im totally glad i did. wonderful channel.
Can we PLEASE talk about how strong her knees are? That kimono probably weighs the same as a 10 year old child and she just effortlessly stands like she’s wearing clouds of air.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us Shogo!!! Keep up the amazing content!!
Koaki-san was so wonderful! Thanks for the video :)
This was so special to watch and a great experience. This was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for another well done informative video. They will come in handy for me when Japan opens back up.
Her kimono is very special and stylish! Thanks for the video!
It's like taking time to step into another world. Thank you for bringing us along.
See I love these videos because they’re such a great reference for art and such. I also enjoy the cultural aspects and such for restaurants such as these. Great job to everyone involved!!!
Such elegance! Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us.
This was an amazing video. I loved every part of it. The coming back for additional 20 mins was amazing 😂😂😂😂
Another Great Video Shogo!
Hope you will make another One soon!
Beautiful video Shogo san, honestly you have made my day.
I am missing my friends in Kyoto and it'll be great to take them there when I get a chance to return.
Thank you very much.
Such a pleasant video. Thank you Shogo! Enjoyed the atmosphere with a cup of tea. Such a bright and relaxing vibe is what I need in these grey rainy days
I had fun!! Thank you Shogo and family🥰
I really enjoyed this! So beautiful and peaceful. I’m a little jealous.
Everything about her dance is so beautiful. So mesmerizing.
So very elegant! I love how the hemline moves when they walk! I really want to consider this experience so I’ll have to come back just for the link! Love it thank you Shogo!
These videos of yours are extremely well done, I doubt you won't get to at least 2 million by 2023!
Thank you for this beautiful video. So nice to able enjoy this.
OMG! This was such a beautiful experience you shared to us. Koaki-san is such a breathtaking and fun maiko! I’ll definitely include this experience once I get to visit Japan.
Aww she's so pretty. Everything about her is charming. I'm sure she'll have a very successful carreer!
She is so graceful. I loved watching the dances.
I absolutely LOVE this video on geiko/maiko culture as I've been a fan of the art for many years now. And I just adore Koaki San. She's a gem. I'm so happy I found your channel last year! 🥰
I loved this video it was definitely entertaining and insightful. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. 🙇♀️
I had a lot of fun reliving this experience with you! While one can watch maiko and geiko dances filmed a lot, it's a rare peak to see how one's actually interacts with her guests. Thx for this beautiful and very informative video!
Oh I loved this. I have such respect and admiration for Maiko and Geisha, their so beautiful and graceful. Thank you for this.
This was absolutely wonderful. This video reminded me of how much I miss Kyoto and of how much I miss the experience of getting to spend time with and be entertained by maiko and geiko. Koaki-san is such a consummate professional with such a cheerful and charming personality. I know that she will continue to do well!
Hello from Egypt, this channel is very educational and entertaining. Thank you for uploading these videos.
I love all of your videos, but this one is a top favorite 🤩
She makes that dancing look so easy! Absolutely fantastic.
It was a pleasure watching you enjoy such a special occasion. I hope that all who you have welcomed feel the same. Time spent with Maiko is ikigai, for lack of a better word to describe it by me. Thank you!
So graceful and beautiful...feeling deeply touched by her elegance...
Very interesting interview! Beutiful place and atmosphere 👍
Koaki-san was so cute the whole time!!
Your awe and respect is so amazing 😍
Ow this video is so magestic. I don't know if that's the correct word. I'm amazed by the respect and solemnity that you have for your own culture. That's something that i can even enjoy. Even your enjoying is made with solemnity. I loved it.
So honest feelings.
