市だ 1 year ago They are Maiko in Nara, not Maikoin kyoto Maiko in Kyoto is higher and more luxurious than Maiko in Nara. Because, before Japan's largest city became Tokyo, Kyoto was Japan's largest city, and that period lasted 1100 years. The imperial family also lived in Kyoto. Kyoto, which prospered as a big city for 1100 years, still retains various historical buildings and sophisticated landscapes. Maiko in Kyoto is higher and more luxurious because of the proud land pattern of Kyoto. By the way, Maiko is an apprentice of a geisha. And a child. Geisha are called Geiko in Kyoto 1 Ka Chi 1 second agoFirst of all Nara used to have a Hanamachi in the 17th century, it just disappeared because of lack of customers like many Hanamachi all over Japan (in the 18th century almost every city in Japan had a Kagai). The Geisha appeared in the early 17th century and by then the capital of Japan was no longer Kyoto (or Heian Kyo) but Edo (now Tokyo), so Geisha appeared when the Japanese capital was already Tokyo (then Edo). The only reason Kyoto retains many historical buildings and other traditions is simply because it wasn't bombed during world war 2, nothing else. Tokyo was far more beautiful than Kyoto in the 18th century, it just got flattened first by a massive earthquake in 1923 then a massive fire, then the war. That's why Kyoto still looks like it does. In a way it is actually thanks to Tokyo and Osaka who took the heat. As for luxury, not a single Hanamachi in Japan beats Akasaka in Tokyo. You don't know luxury until you have met the Akasaka Geisha in their Akasaka Ryotei. Kyoto is beautiful and is the cliche poster of traditional Japan, but Kyoto is broke and so are the Kagai there, except Kamishichiken because it has a special status. Akasaka is flowing with money and the Geisha there are the wealthiest in the country. The difference is the Kyoto and Tokyo Kagai culture. Kyoto is about flaunting wealth. The Geiko and Maiko there show their extravagance on themselves with their obious visual opulence. Tokyo Kagai are the opposite because Tokyo or once Edo is where the Iki style was born. Iki means not showing off, it is unostentatious opulence, hidden from view. Nara is an even older older than Kyoto and before Kyoto was the capital, Nara was the ancient capital of Japan 1300 years ago, and this is why you have far more temples and shrines and gardens and traditional craftspeople in Nara than in Kyoto. So, the legacy of the Kagai in Nara is just as old as the legacy of the Kagai in Kyoto or in Tokyo or in Osaka, or in Nagoya, or in Nagasaki or in Yokohama, or in Kanazawa etc, ... Do your homework 市ださん. Oh and just for the record, my mother in law is a now retired Geisha from Akasaka, but she was born in Kyoto where her mother and grandmother were Geiko in Pontocho and before that her great grandmother was a Geisha in Nagasaki so i know exactly what i am talking about as i got it straight from the horses' mouth. Not a single Geiko in Kyoto would ever dare to look down on a Geiko or Maiko from Nara and yet here you are and here you dare, not even being part of the Kagai yourself, with your loud mouth. Oh and finally Geisha are called Geiko in Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, etc, this is not a Kyoto thing, this is a Kansai thing. Geisha are called Geisha in Tokyo because this is a Kanto thing. Also male Geisha which were the original Geisha where called Geisha in Kyoto as well and this is only when women started to appear that they were called Geiko in the Kansai region to make the difference between, but the Edo female Geisha refused to have the term Sha meaning professional replaced by the term Ko or Gi because the term Gi or Ko 妓 has a sexual connotation which they refused to be associated with, while the suffixe 者 Sha is very honorific. That's why today Geisha are actually higher in prestige than Geiko or Geigi (which was how Geisha of Edo were called for a while until the reverted to be called Geisha. Seriously do your homework a little before posting silly comments.

Kyoto and Nara are different, there is no denying that. And of course Kyoto has a very esteemed history as the capital of Japan, but the maiko of Nara are still very hardworking and worthy of just as much respect.
