Thank you so much for posting an English version! It's so cool to see how differently Kikue and Kikunami apply their makeup- and your English is absolutely fantastic, Kikunami :)
Thank you for uploading an English version of your makeup video! I like it very much, and your makeup is very pretty. May I ask you some questions? 1) How long does it normally take you to apply the makeup? 2) Did you practice putting on oshiroi before becoming a maiko? 3) How do you remove the makeup? 4) Do you buy the oshiroi in Nara, or do you have to go to a shop in Kyoto? I apologize for asking so many questions! Thank you in advance for any answers you may give. :)
Yvonne hi it’s Nami ! thank you for watching this video! i answer your question as much as possible. 1) it takes about 1 hours to apply my makeup. 2) i did many times! 3) i remove my makeup with normal makeup remover that i can buy at pharmacy. 4) i have to go to Kyoto because there are no oshiroi shop in Nara. thank you so much ☺️
A makeup tutorial straight from the source! This is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing part of the process with us. Greetings from Puerto Rico! ❤🇵🇷
Thank you for taking the time to explain what everything is and what it means. I learned much by watching. Your English is so good! I hope someday my Japanese will be as good as your English.
Arigato gozaimasu for this wonderful video. I don't speak Japanese and have to rely on UA-cam's often inaccurate translations. Getting to see a video about maiko in English was an absolute treat. You speak English very well. I hope you'll share more videos with us in the future. Good luck in your career. Best wishes from New Jersey, USA.
This was a very interesting video! It's the first time I have seen a real Maiko showing her makeup skills, and being in English is great too. Thank you for sharing this with everyone, I love Maiko and Geisha! :)
This is amazing!! Thank you so much Kikunami-san and please give a big thanks to Kikue-san for both of your hard work in sharing your world with others ^^ The videos you both produce are awesome!! Your hard work is appreciated ^^
Its also interesting to see the difference that you and Kikue have in your application process ^^ You work from the outside in while she worked from the inside out ^^
Thank you for this video. As a girl I love your traditions and I'm very appreciated to learn about Maikos from a really nice maiko like you. 😊😇😌 I hope you will continue your videos. 🌹💐🌻🌼🌷🌷🌺😌 Turkish people loves you andd... GREATINGS FROM TURKEY
Aloha Kikunami 🌺🌈 Your English demonstration was excellent !! You must have been a good student in school. Good luck in your future career as a maiko and geiko. I visited Nara with my son this past Summer, we enjoyed the deer and Todaiji Temple and other sites. We plan to come back again. Otsukaresama deshita 🙏🏽🙇🏻
Nelson Char Aloha,it’s Kikunami 🦋 Thank you for watching this video! Please come back to Nara again because there are so many places you had better visit ! I wanna meet you and your son someday 🎶
Ahhh her English is so good 😍 I dreamt of being a maiko but alas I do not live in Japan so now I'm expressing my love by collecting small things of maikos/geikos as a way of preserving the beauty :)
Thank you for the interesting video Kikunami San, I love studying Geiko culture, and I really enjoyed walking around Naramachi. I was wondering if you could tell us more about the Kanazashi you wear and the meanings of your hair styles?
Qujanarrusaq!! Kalaallisut Greenlandic (Eskimo) for thank you!! I too wanted to be a maiko...but not living in Japan and being poor did not help!! Thank you so much, your english is better than mine lol, I was born and raised in the USA, lol! Qujanaq! ( kalaallisut Greenlandic for thank you! ) From this Greenlandic American! stay safe, keep reaching for your dreams!!
I would have given everything up to become a maiko and then Geisha. I tried very hard to get over there about ten years ago and tried to get in contact with someone who could help me but it never came to fruition :/ but I still dream and you keep my dream alive
Thank you so much for sharing this! You are absolutely beautiful! Do you encourage people to try this? In america, people get upset when you try to experience other cultures sometimes. I collect kimono and many americans do not think I should wear them but I still do because I love them!
Dorelinendenwen Ancalime Hi it’s Kikunami :) thank you for watching this video! I just wanna share our culture with many people around the world ☺️ i’m so glad that you love kimono ✨ One of my favorite words is Do what you wanna do ! I think you don’t have to care that. thank you so much ☺️
Who pays for your makeup, you or your okiya? Have you ever gotten your makeup in your eyes? Are there different makeup rules in Nara then there are in the other hanamachi such as Tokyo and Kyoto? Where did you learn how to speak English so well?
I’ve got a huge fascination with geisha culture etc and I rly wanted to do a geisha inspired look tastefully for haloween but as I’m Caucasian I wanted to ask if you think this is ok or offensive? I think I’d skip on the white face paint and just focus on hair and kimono but I don’t want to offend people from that culture. Love your videos btw x. (Edit I’m not planning on a tradition kimono but a kimono style bathrobe, just trying to achieve an aesthetic rather than appropriate and copy a whole group of people, also it wouldn’t be ‘sexy’ or anything as I think that’s rly distasteful and projects misconceptions about geisha)
Why does some geisha or maiko have 2 stripes on her neck and others only 1? Is it important? なんで芸者でも舞妓さんの首には一つの縞がありいますか?二つの縞見ました、それは重要なことですか？私の日本語すみません
I hope I can answer this. You're thinking of the two prong and three prong design, here she's using the two prong. The two prong is meant for every day wear while the three prong is meant for special occasions such as shigyoshiki, hassaku, and for their Erikae and Misedashi ^^ So when you see a three prong, know that there's something special going on ^^
