      It really depends on the budget of the customer. The length of time, the number of performances, the size of the audience, etc., will affect how much they make. For my situation, it was one hour and she performed 1 song and it was around 4-500CDN dollars including drinks.

      Hi, Dave.
      The girls come from the Kaburenjo exit wich is not in Hanamikoji. If you note they come from the narrow back streets. The exit is close to the Masuume ochaya in a street that crosses Hanamikoji. In this video in the begining you can see the exit of Kaburenjo on the right side by those yellow fences: ua-cam.com/video/NGPgoSC3OS8/v-deo.html
      Nice to see the geiko without white make-up, they look so elegant in that subdued style. You pointed out some women as being okaasan of Tama and also of Nihimura, but none of them are okaasan. Nishimura okaasan has a problem on her leg so she walks with some dificulty and Tama-san apperas in this video I send you.
      I love your videos and I'm anxious to see Miyagawacho geiko and maiko through your lensses.

    • @moushimoushi8963
      @moushimoushi8963 4 роки тому

      It looks like this was for the Miyako Odori, where both maiko and junior geiko who are participating in the dance will wear the same hairstyle. They’re going to the theater to get dressed as well so they’re wearing normal kimono which can make it even more difficult. Basically the only way you can tell is by being familiar with the maiko and geiko themselves as individuals.

    • @IGUniverse
      @IGUniverse 4 роки тому

      @@moushimoushi8963 yes is confusing. But as far as I know they go to the theater already dress. Actually have seen geikos with their huge costumes coming out from taxis, And even when they dress in the place they put the kansashis at home along with the make up. And geikos and maikos do not use the same hair styles, maiko use wareshinobu and ofuku, beside geiko that have shimada. And when maikos use one call hankoshimada they have a colofur ribon on the hair douwn of the ponytail, As well i know that geikos styling their hairs for the tea parties after the odori. Maybe the stilist do not do a exact shimada because is really hard. I have seen how is done.

    • @moushimoushi8963
      @moushimoushi8963 4 роки тому +1

      Irene Gavidia normally, yes maiko and geiko go out from their okiya already dressed, however for huge events such as the miyako odori,they go to the theater in order to be dressed, that way they can help each other out and the dressers don’t have to run from one okiya to the next in order to have everyone dressed and ready to go. The maiko that are dressed in their normal hiki, such as the first one, is not performing at the odori (not everyone chooses to participate so they’ll go about their normal business. It’s also safer as they don’t have to worry about tourists grabbing them or dirtying the iconic blue kimono that most of the maiko and geiko wear if they don’t have a major part^^
