I am Japanese. You are very lucky. Originally, maiko and geiko were not allowed to take pictures with the public in Kyoto. In many cases, they are usually refused. I myself have rarely seen them. Good for you!😄😄😄
Wooooooooooooow so special. The girl would have felt so happy, and how kind from the girls to stop for a photo. The girls are geiko Toshikana and maiko Korin, who is now a geiko.
At that time, there were not as many tourists as there are now, and there were fewer rude foreign tourists, so maiko and geisha were friendly. Now, the locals are Distrustful of foreign tourists. Kyoto has changed.
Of course, we had no idea who they were and that it's rude to ask for a photo. We knew nothing about their customs, we stayed in a house in this street and saw many popping in and put of the small tea houses whilst working over the course of the week, fantastic place ....❤
How rude ! There are on their way to work ! You think they dress like this (the whole outfit costs more than 80 000 dollars) for you or to parade on the street ? When they dress like this they are hired by a client who spends 5000 dollars for 2 hours of their company. You stop them on the street, at night , on their way to work and you ask them (in a foreign language because you can't even be bothered to learn to ask them in their language) to take a photo with your child ? Who do you think you are ? And what if your child had soiled their kimono ? Would you have paid 1000 dollars for the cleaning ? And the young Maiko was 16 years old. How would you feel if a foreign man followed your 16 or 17 years old daughter at night and asked her in a foreign language to pose for him on the street ? Do you realize how inappropriate and rude and arrogant this was of you to do this.
Maiko and Geiko know not to accept photos from tourists and even locals. However, in this case Korin-san and Toshikana-san stopped anyway out of kindness. Although it isn't convenient to ask for pictures while they're working, maiko and geiko know their jobs, and will not stop if they don't want to or if they can't. The couple wasn't being rude -- they were asking for a picture.
@@moonrisehowler1842 Not out of kindness out of curtesy because in Japan it is very impolite to say no to someone. This doesn't mean they want to be photographed. Toshikana San is a very good friend of my grandmother who is a former Geisha of Akasaka. And when she is in full dress and makeup she loathed being photographed because she is working. The question is not about them accepting or refusing to be photographed it is about tourists and locals asking for photos and to pose with their children. The locals who take photos of Geimaiko in Kyoto are usually old guys in their 70s and older who always stick to one side of the road and have already registered with the Geisha Kenban to be authorized to take photos, or they are professional cameramen who actually pay the ladies for the photos. No local goes to geisha and ask them to pose with their child on their way to work. Don't ask people what you wouldn't want to be asked. When Japanese travel abroad they constantly see people who look exotic to them, they do not approach them and ask them to pose for a photo, let alone with their children. Imagine stopping the royal guards in englands with their red and black uniform and their bear fur hat, on their way to work. Just imagine stopping them and asking them to pose with your kids for a photo. This is exactly the same.

Good for you!😄😄😄
You were lucky to meet a very famous pair!
WendiWhat? Who
@@writingmaster3008 the maiko and geiko are quite the celebrity in Kyoto. To have them together is really awesome!
しっとり落ち着いた宮川町素敵です。
芸子さんと舞妓さんが足を止めてくれるなんてラッキー😆💕
可愛いお嬢さんを見たからね～
とても素敵お嬢さんも素敵な思い出になったわね❤️

I'm not a customer so this Toshikanakorin combo looks rare(of course it's not) lol.
一緒に写真撮れてとてもラッキーですね
とし夏菜さん（芸妓）と小凛さん（舞妓）が相談して撮影を許可したのだから何も問題有りません。
お座敷帰りの舞妓さんと芸姑さんですかね
足を止めてとらってluckyでしたね☺️
2015年ですか。
周囲にあまり人もいないし、この頃はまだのどかだったのでしょうね。
芸妓さん達にも余裕がある雰囲気です。今はもう変わりましたよ。
人が多くなり過ぎて芸妓さん達は余裕を無くして疲れています。
今は撮影には応じてくれないでしょう。
こんな優しい笑顔で対応しているのは珍しいと思います。
あなたは、良い時期に運良く撮影できました。
外国人はもう芸妓を撮らないで下さい。芸妓たちは疲れ切ってるのです。
宮川町は車も通りにくいですし、ひっそりしてて今でも比較的静かですよ。
祇園甲部の代わり様は凄いですよね…
They're so sweet!
I'm in love with your profile picture, I would like to know where can I find it please?
@@akazaynab The artist is Tatsumi Shimura if I remember correctly
少女が舞妓さんと芸者さんを見上げてるときの眼差しと笑顔がいいね😀✨

oh my gosh! Korin was such a baby!!
Maiko is on the left. Geisha is on the right.
Maiko is the stage before becoming a geisha.
これは素晴らしいです✨
可爱的小女孩👧
合影🎉🎉🎉
観光客で溢れる前の時代かな？
日本人のリクエストには応じないでしょう。貴方はラッキー。
きつい事言うなぁ
私は置屋で育ちました
普通の人間にはなりませんね
You met Maiko Korin (in violet, now a geiko) and Geiko Toshikana (in lavendar)
Not a geisha, but a maiko/geiko!
芸者ではなく、舞妓・芸妓です！
すごい😃

こんなこと許してたら、他にも沢山出てくる。
This is from miyagawacho right? :D
I tried to spot them when I was in Kyoto, but never saw one
これはラッキーですね
普段は一緒に写真撮ることはできないので
Lucky
写真を撮ってもらいたい気持ちは分かるが、ここは日本なのだから、
写真を撮ってほしいのなら日本語で頼もうよ。
日本人のほとんどは英語が話せないのだから、そんな日本人に合わせて、
「写真を一緒に撮っていいですか？」と日本語で頼もうよ。
So cute
Elle a pas durée longtemps la vidéo dommage!!!!!!!
Lucky :')
I'm afraid
How rude !
There are on their way to work ! You think they dress like this (the whole outfit costs more than 80 000 dollars) for you or to parade on the street ?
When they dress like this they are hired by a client who spends 5000 dollars for 2 hours of their company. You stop them on the street, at night , on their way to work and you ask them (in a foreign language because you can't even be bothered to learn to ask them in their language) to take a photo with your child ? Who do you think you are ?
And what if your child had soiled their kimono ? Would you have paid 1000 dollars for the cleaning ?
And the young Maiko was 16 years old. How would you feel if a foreign man followed your 16 or 17 years old daughter at night and asked her in a foreign language to pose for him on the street ?

日本語ですみません。
急いでたら写真は撮らないはずです。小凛さんととし夏奈さんは急いでるようにも見えず、写真撮影を引き受けてくれました。
また、仕事の行きではなく帰りだった場合、そこまで迷惑にならないと思います。
あなたのコメントは2人の優しさを否定しています。
@@okakaka 日本語で結構です。
私のコメントは二人の優しさを強調しています。
$1000 for kimono cleaning 🙀
