Thank you for always watching my video. I am happy that you are interested in Japanese culture. I would like to continue to tell you about the charms of Japan. Thank you very much👍
🌸Oh wow! Don’t they look pretty! It just goes to show that immaculate grooming and a modest, courteous demeanour will never go out of fashion. These charming young ladies are an example to us all.
Emotion 💖. These women are living pieces of Art. Behind that beauty I think about the great work they do to keep alive japanese traditions. All my respect and love. 🙏
@@modtomodern The state of the arts in the west is not so good. Marxists have taken over, so all of the art being produced now is an attack on western traditions. Anyone who tries to revive western traditions through the arts is labelled a racist, a sexist, and every other 'ist' in the book. They get blacklisted and censored and even assaulted. Bomb threats are called on the venues. This kind of terrorism is how Communism takes over societies. Countries like China do the same thing to try to shut down Shen Yun, a traditional Chinese dance show that performs in the west. I wish it was as easy as you said, but we are at war and few people realize it.
First of all, the video quality is wonderful. Such a pleasure to see the geiko and maiko who work so hard to perfect their crafts. It's difficult to take your eyes off them !
These new Geishas are so Beautiful, I don't know a whole lot about the lifestyle but they look like walking life-size porcelain dolls, they move and act with such grace and style. I really would like to meet one someday.
Your out doing yourself Anna! Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing. Also Congrats to both Toshiemi-san, and Kikuyae-san on their Erikae, and the two Maiko's on their Misedashi. Wish them all the best of luck.
Most westerners do not know that those Kimonos cost over $20,000 usd. Most Japanese men pay more their wives Kimono's than the family car. (This is true, my wife is Japanese, her Kimono did cost me close to $20,000.) However my F250 cost me more than that, however we can't put her INTO my F250 in her Kimono, too high up. LOL So Kimono wins over F250
@Brent Barnhart : Like Western clothes, Japanese kimonos cover a wide range of prices. There are some that are inexpensive, reasonably priced. Likewise, there are others at the top end which -- for numerous reasons -- cost thousands and thousands of Yens, often not worn but for exhibition purposes only.
@@micky4fun Obviously they cover from cheap to expensive, but what you are speaking about "put on exhibition purposes only," I don't know any Japanese who "exhibits" their Kimono's... it is their CLOTHING. We don't exhibit our Levi's in the united States anymore than they their Kimonos, silly comment. My mother and wife WEAR their $15,000 to $20,000 Kimonos, it is their clothing. Many young people today "rent' their Kimonos for special graduations, etc. which is a fairly "new thing."
@@micky4fun I suggested my wife "exhibit" one of her Kimono's at our ranch in America, in a room I wanted to put in Tatami floors and decorate it in a Japanese style, and she thought I had "lost my mind," put her expensive Kimono on exhibit, NO WAY. It is carefully stored away, not even put on a hanger. (They have a special way of packaging them up.)
Brent: I just have one last comment -- do you think anybody here really cares how much you paid for your wife's kimono or why/how she wears it? Or that you purchased a F250? Seriously doubt it. If you are both happy, that is all that matters. It's your money.
@@micky4fun You seem to be the one who said expensive kimonos are on exhibit. As if you had any idea. And my comment factual and informative only until your feelings got hurt so you had to spin my words. Go grow up.
So nice to see the Wonderful Culture and Uniqueness off Japan. The outfits have so much colour. Your video is so clear. Thank you for sharing. Your work is appreciated
@@annafilmproduction1143 you work hard, always a wonderful production and good information about what you've videod. A pleasure to watch and learn more about culture, scenery and more. Thank you.
I'm more interested in the man having a thick beard as I've never seen a guy like that in the specific scene before. Still those 3 people look quite gorgeous.
Im surprised that even japanese people shoot lot of pics, i thought that for them seeing a maiko or geisha would be absolutely normal. An at 0:37 even a maiko is taking pics of the geisha :D. Anyway, they are so graceful, beautiful and polite
Normal? Not really. It might come as surprise to many here that most Japanese have never seen a geisha. Geishas are in fact a very rare sight as there are only a few hundred left in Japan. I have been fortunate enough to encounter a couple of "real" geishas while visiting Tokyo. (Warning! There are many fake geishas around which may look like geishas but are really not, including tourists that dress up as geishas walking around Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan.).
thank you for giving us a glimpse into the lives of geiko and maiko-san. they seem so mysterious. I always wonder what is happening behind those sliding doors.
They're greeting the ochaya (teahouse) owners and their teachers as well to let them know about their transition and to thank them for helping them with their careers. This I read in mineko iwasakis book..and her having to do the same during her transitions from minarai to full fledged maiko, geiko, etc
I've been watching documentaries and learning about this tradition....its quite fascinating and beautiful....I love learning about different traditions different cultures....from stefanie Perez
I,m a big fan of toshiemi. She eis so gracefull, i follow this 2 erikae and 2 mishedashi by pictures on a face page call my kyoto photo, is really nice to see it on video is great. Thank you vey much.
I was hoping to see Toshiemi and Kikuyae's erikae. Thanks for sharing this wonderful glimpse of these very special days.. I love the Komaya girls. They're so upbeat and lively. I prefer the chaperone from Gion Kobu. This otokoshi/chaperone was walking so fast that the geiko had to almost run to keep up with him.
These past two videos have been so enlightening. The "art", training and dedication of this achievement is beyond what most of us can even comprehend. This and your previous video with the Rose ceremony was absolutely beautiful....simple and pure. As we all strive to live our lives in this pattern. As always, you have captured this like no other. A sincere Thank you... Arigatou gozimasu.
It is such an honor to be able to have you say such a thing. I want to work even harder and keep getting better. I want to get a deeper understanding of Japanese cultures. Thanks.
@steve gale Even after the deed has been already done, while the situation continues it's natural to use ありがとうございます. This is typical mistake for beginner learners because they stick to that ありがとうございました is past form but ありがとうございます can be used for the past deed when the conclusion of the deed still exists. In this case, this video still exists on UA-cam, so ありがとうございます is more natural. I passed N1 of JLPT, graduated from university in Japan and work at Japanese company but I don't feel ありがとうございます is wrong when I first saw the sentence. I asked this to my Japanese co-workers in today's lunch time, but all of them agreed with me. Plus, Japanese people in this comment use ありがとうございます actually.
@@annafilmproduction1143 Anna, it was not my intention to have the above conversation take place, and ruin this thread on your video. I removed my reply to the other two people. My sincere apologies.
Thank you for your comment. Erikae (襟替え, the turning of the collar) is a ceremony where a maiko (an apprentice geisha) becomes a geisha and begins to wear the white collar of a geisha instead of the red worn by apprentices. Her hairstyle would also be changed from the ofuku-style to the shimada worn by older women. Misedashi (店だし, making business public) in Japan is a ceremony where a shikomi (an aspiring geiko) becomes a maiko (an apprentice geiko) and officially begins their career. After the ceremony is over the maiko will be guided through the streets by an otokoshi-san (male dresser) to their teachers and other okiya to thank them for their support and let them know they have debuted. Thanks.
Hi. I watch a lot of videos seeing the geisha and the maiko going into various locations. I am curious to know exactly what they are doing? Is it to let the businesses know that they are available to perform?I’ve never seen a gentleman walking with the ladies. I’m curious as to his function.
Oh wow yukina is no longer following her dream!!!☹slightly sad however happy she got married! Such a wonderful girl ...such dedication....from Stefanie Perez
I mean like, I am pretty sure that she already achieved her dream in becoming a maiko and already graduated into a geiko. I think she is just turning into a new leaf. Besides, she still works there basically.
He announce the arrival of the girls , so then the girls can introduce themselves to every okiya and ochaya. Is like the old fashion announcement at balls and galas...kinda
Joselito Calugay They did greetings to owners of okiya okiya means maiko and geiko's house. It's like show business agency for maiko and geiko. they're finally becoming a geisha. so they said "thanks for okasan and please keep in touch from now on." they said "Ookini Okasan" Ookini = Thank you in Kansai dialect Okasan= mother
@@user-se9xw3or6i thanks I was wondering about it too. Makes sense for the girls to be introduced to different agencies. They're so pretty and feminine. In the U.S. we've unfortunately lost a lot of our femininity.
Ravenna S. Most of Japanese women too. I'm a girl living in Tokyo, Now Watching the big bang theory on Netflix and eating Indian curry from Uber eats. These girls are not typical japanese girls. I respect them but i can't believe they didn't graduate high school. If you interested in this Hanamachi culture, i recommended you this comic books "Maiko san chi o Makanaisan" www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=141010
Anna excellent filming and editing, as always a five star production. I'm curious to know the name of the taller Maiko in her Misedashi, anyone? thank you.

Omg you're right!! I read your comment and I was like "What do you mean? Yukina-san hasn't practiced in years!" I figured she would still be close with her old kagai and old okiya but this is the first time I've actually seen her participating in such a big event. She looks fantastic!!

Interesting. What is the male escort accompanying the two young ladies (I think they are both geikos) called? What is his role? Must say that it’s not often I’ve seen a man with such a beard in Japan. He looks handsome and very elegantly dressed too. おもしろい。 2人の若い女性（どちらも芸者だと思います）に同行する男性の付き添いは何と呼ばれますか？彼の役割は何ですか？日本でそんなひげの男性を見たことがないことは間違いありません。彼はハンサムでとてもエレガントな服装もしている。
He's a member of the Kenban of Miyagawacho. You can kind of think of the Kenban as the governing board. They basically track everything and help with organizing big events. If it's not a member of the Kenban, it's the Otokoshi, the dresser, but I'm pretty sure he's from the Kenban.
How wonderful it is to see traditions carried forward by these young artists. I wish them a long and prosperous career.
Thanks for your comment.
I think so, too.
I've read an article about becoming a maiko then a geiko the discipline they must have I really admire those wonderful and young ladies
Thank you for always watching my video. I am happy that you are interested in Japanese culture. I would like to continue to tell you about the charms of Japan.
Thank you very much👍
I love seeing how happy the maiko are for her!!! So sweet and supportive.

晴れの門出に相応しい良いお天気だったようで何よりでした。
芸妓さんも舞妓さんも時々見せる笑顔と仕草が、改めて二十歳そこそこの女性なんだという事を垣間見せてくれますね^^
今の時代にこの厳しい世界に14,5歳の頃から身を置き、沢山の習い事や厳格なしきたりや作法を学び芸舞妓さんになられる事は私達の知りえる事がない、強い信念と思い、そして大変なご苦労があったに違いがありません。
また、その道へ進む事に後押しをしてくれた親御さん、その娘さん達を大切にそして一人前の芸舞妓に育てる為に尽力されている置屋さん地方さん、地域の方々達。
一人の芸舞妓さんを育てると同時に日本の文化と伝統を守る役割を担っている関係各所の方達に感謝です。

Love Japan. I hope people in the west start to embrace their traditions like this before it's too late.

@steve gale すごいですね(悪い意味で)。JLPTが出来るから流暢に話せるとは思っていませんよ。私はちゃんと大学で日本語で講義を勉強し、会社では日本語を使って仕事をしています。だから、そう言っているのです。
９０年代以前と以後でそんなに違いがある訳ないでしょう。少なくとも私は９０年代以前の日本人と以後の日本人と話してそう感じません。
あと私がそのことに尋ねた同僚は皆１９７０年代に生まれたのが２人、１９６０年代に生まれたのが１人です。だから、あなたの指摘は値しませんね。仮にあなたの主張が正しいとすると、彼らが私に同意した事実と矛盾します。
じゃああなたが日本語を書けばいいんじゃないですか？私の同僚は京都の人間で１９６０年代に生まれ、京都弁を話すが私は話してて理解できます。あなたは日本語が時代によって違うと理解しているようですが少なくともここ１００年程は互いに理解できない違いはないです。私は三島由紀夫や川端康成等の昔の小説を読むが理解できます。
あなたの日本語が理解されないのはただ下手なだけなのではないでしょうか。是非日本語で会話しましょう。あなたが書いた日本語を私が理解できなければそれで終わりでしょう。
@steve gale 私の母国語は英語ではありません。そして、私は英語よりも日本語の方が得意です。ですから日本語で話して頂けますか？
そして、後生なので私のおかしな日本語の部分を示して説明して頂けるとありがたいです。
@@annafilmproduction1143 Anna, it was not my intention to have the above conversation take place, and ruin this thread on your video. I removed my reply to the other two people. My sincere apologies.
Как прекрасно !
Большое спасибо!
Lovely as they are graceful.
Thanks for your comment.
貴重な投稿を有難うございます。

いつもご視聴くださり誠にありがとうございます！！
とても励みになります。
とし恵美さん.襟替えしても綺麗ですね。
襟替えの情報等は何処から入るのかな？
直に見たいですね。
光と陰の当たりを考えて写しているから,表情も綺麗です。
コメント誠にありがとうございます。
情報などは、全てインターネットで調べておりました！！
これからも、ライティングは勉強していこうと思います。
菊弥江さん、3年で襟替え…！？
Nice video
Thank you very much.
+@@annafilmproduction1143 what video this
Thank you for your comment.
Erikae (襟替え, the turning of the collar) is a ceremony where a maiko (an apprentice geisha) becomes a geisha and begins to wear the white collar of a geisha instead of the red worn by apprentices. Her hairstyle would also be changed from the ofuku-style to the shimada worn by older women.
Misedashi (店だし, making business public) in Japan is a ceremony where a shikomi (an aspiring geiko) becomes a maiko (an apprentice geiko) and officially begins their career. After the ceremony is over the maiko will be guided through the streets by an otokoshi-san (male dresser) to their teachers and other okiya to thank them for their support and let them know they have debuted.
Thanks.
+@@annafilmproduction1143 there face
这是两位级别很高的艺妓姐姐，不是很常见，她们是芸子（geiko/geisha）而不是舞子（maiko）
게이코가 된 신고식 같은거겠죠?🥰
글구 저 수염난 남자분~
마이코,게이코씨들 머리 해주고,기모노 입히는걸 방송에서 본 것 같아요🤗
why do they go to many houses?
高橋さんすごいなぁ…
11月4日お店出しみたいなので是非撮っていただきたいです。
Hi. I watch a lot of videos seeing the geisha and the maiko going into various locations. I am curious to know exactly what they are doing? Is it to let the businesses know that they are available to perform?I’ve never seen a gentleman walking with the ladies. I’m curious as to his function.
who is the man, what does he do?
게이코씨들입니다
Oh wow yukina is no longer following her dream!!!☹slightly sad however happy she got married! Such a wonderful girl ...such dedication....from Stefanie Perez
I mean like, I am pretty sure that she already achieved her dream in becoming a maiko and already graduated into a geiko. I think she is just turning into a new leaf. Besides, she still works there basically.
Who is the man and what is his role.
He announce the arrival of the girls , so then the girls can introduce themselves to every okiya and ochaya. Is like the old fashion announcement at balls and galas...kinda
@@Not_hereanymore thank you for the information.
A chaperone from reading another comment
７:42 に映っている方のお名前がわかれば教えて頂きたいです。
笑顔がものすごくステキな方だなと思いました。
お化粧をしているお姿なども見てみたいなと思い人生初のUA-camでのコメントです(かなり緊張しております)
コメント、誠にありがとうございます。
お楽しみいただけとても嬉しいです！！申し訳ございません。お名前は存じ上げないのですが、お化粧されたお姿は宮川町の新年挨拶回りの動画にてご視聴いただけるかもしれません。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします！！
叶季(すえ)さんという方ですね！
パックなう わざわざありがとうございます！！
さっそくお姿探して拝見したいと思います！
ロムがちなのですが勇気を出してコメントしてみて良かったです😭
本当にありがとうございます！
(これでもめちゃくちゃ喜んでおります！)
Eternal!
Hi. Why do enter from one house to another?Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Joselito Calugay They did greetings to owners of okiya
okiya means maiko and geiko's house. It's like show business agency for maiko and geiko.
they're finally becoming a geisha. so they said "thanks for okasan and please keep in touch from now on."
they said "Ookini Okasan"
Ookini = Thank you in Kansai dialect
Okasan= mother
Thanks Kiki. Planning to go next year.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
@@user-se9xw3or6i thanks I was wondering about it too. Makes sense for the girls to be introduced to different agencies. They're so pretty and feminine. In the U.S. we've unfortunately lost a lot of our femininity.
Ravenna S. Most of Japanese women too. I'm a girl living in Tokyo, Now Watching the big bang theory on Netflix and eating Indian curry from Uber eats. These girls are not typical japanese girls. I respect them but i can't believe they didn't graduate high school.
If you interested in this Hanamachi culture, i recommended you this comic books "Maiko san chi o Makanaisan" www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=141010
Do they receive enough pay for being Maiko san or Geiko san?
芸妓さんも舞妓さんも宮川町は大衆的だと聞いています 京都の人は 法事などでも宮川町を利用するとか 大衆的なことと宮川町の襟替えやお店出しとは関係がありますか？
置屋にもよるかもしれませんが、大衆的ではないと思います。
Anna excellent filming and editing, as always a five star production. I'm curious to know the name of the taller Maiko in her Misedashi, anyone? thank you.
I appreciate your kind words. It motivates me a lot😊😊😊
Probably she is Kotsuru-san.
Thank you very much.
@@annafilmproduction1143 You are correct Anna.
I love japan. But can some one explain to me what is happing in this video

Anna Film Production thank you for this explanation! They are so lovely!😊
7:02 OMG THAT'S YUKINA-SAN 😍😍😍😍 I remember her when she wasn't even a maiko yet oh myyyyy • ua-cam.com/video/KrDGTUm2vBc/v-deo.html
Thank you for your comment😊
Omg you're right!! I read your comment and I was like "What do you mean? Yukina-san hasn't practiced in years!" I figured she would still be close with her old kagai and old okiya but this is the first time I've actually seen her participating in such a big event. She looks fantastic!!
Love it. Btw what if they are christians?
Thank you for your comment.

舞妓はん芸妓はんにカメラを向けるのはどうかと思いますが。見て楽しむものではなかろうか？
写真は1人1枚限りとかに制限かけて欲しいです。昔はそんなのなかったんだがなぁ。
Interesting. What is the male escort accompanying the two young ladies (I think they are both geikos) called? What is his role? Must say that it’s not often I’ve seen a man with such a beard in Japan. He looks handsome and very elegantly dressed too.
おもしろい。 2人の若い女性（どちらも芸者だと思います）に同行する男性の付き添いは何と呼ばれますか？彼の役割は何ですか？日本でそんなひげの男性を見たことがないことは間違いありません。彼はハンサムでとてもエレガントな服装もしている。
He's a member of the Kenban of Miyagawacho. You can kind of think of the Kenban as the governing board. They basically track everything and help with organizing big events. If it's not a member of the Kenban, it's the Otokoshi, the dresser, but I'm pretty sure he's from the Kenban.
He is a dresser(Otokoshi 男衆). There is a new documentary on UA-cam about him. The link is:

7:01 Kikuyuさんですよね！？
お見世だし お店だし どちらも正解なのかな
