Description

I was looking through my pictures from my stay in Japan, and I thought I should post some of the images I never used.

It's April, and to me that means only one thing... Odori! The Kitano, Kyo, and Miyako Odori of the respective Kamishichiken, Miyagawacho, and Gion Kobu geisha districts all take place during this time. Out of all of these, the most famous is definitely the Miyako Odori, often called both Dances of the Old Capital and The Cherry Blossom Dances.

This is the senior maiko Ayakazu. When not in the Miyako Odori "uniform" that she's currently wearing, Ayakazu is like a tall glass of water and absolutely stunning.

What a stunning photo -- so strange to see to seperate flowers on one maiko's head! It looks like Nonohana and... ume blossoms? or is that Sakura? with an overlay of nonohana (I think they are called Rapeseed blossoms, in the west) buds on top. O.O This is a beautiful photograph, thank you for sharing it~ <3
