Artist's Comments

A friend of mine from a kimono forum we both visit took a vacation to Kyoto, and so I guided her through the Shijo area of Kyoto. We visited Yasaka Shrine, Chionin Temple, Maruyama Park, Gion Kobu, Miyagawacho, Pontocho, and Teramachi in lots of different orders and turn-abouts.

This is Kyouka, an Ichi-nin-mae, or first year maiko. You can see her dangling hair ornaments on the left which only first year maiko wear.

I got a new camera that takes better night shots than my last one. It also just takes better pictures all around :).

Yes, the more senior they become, their regalia becomes less colorful (which means less childish) and more elegant. A maiko who is about to have her erikae will wear very simple but tasteful kimono.

Kyouka is very elegant for such a young maiko, I'm looking forward to seeing her career grow.

If you go to Kyoto, take lots of pictures for me :).
