Love it. I just love the geisha`s elegance, even when they are not wearing big kimonos and hair ornaments like the youngest ones (the one most people preffer go watch) their performance is just amazing and that what it only matters.
@@lukaskahan3500 yes I know is a Geiko, but is not wrong when I say geisha, are the same but in different dialects Geigi also applies when I'm referring to the full fledged profesional artist, about the kansashi, I know are only for apprentices (maikos, hangyokus), well the bing ones, geishas can wear little ones, actually are usually only allowed 3 hair decorations allowed and that comes from an all low from the edo period. I was actually pointing how beautiful and elegance if his look is more simple and less colourful, not everyone likes it these, days. maybe I write it in a wrong way, my apologies I will fixed right now. Regards.
@@IGUniverse u are partly right, geisha is the tokyo name and geigei is kyoto name yes they both mean the same thing the woman dancing in this video is a geiko, tokyo geiko usually don't wear hair ornaments they just have a comb and a hair stick but the kyoto geiko have more than 3 hair ornaments and during events and festivals they wear japanese hair pins She looks simple and plain because she is probably a tokyo geiko and keep in mind that every geisha wears the same kimono they use for dancing the entire month and depending on the weather, season and time of the year the kimono will be different
@@lukaskahan3500 Geigi is not a Kyoto name for Geiko, the term is used outside kansai en Edo zones, Geiko is how they are call in kansai (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara), in Tokyo (Edo zone) they are call geisha and their aprentices are call hangyokus, actually in Kyoto is where they are more traditional and use less hair ornaments in daily work, (special celebrations are other thing). but Tokyo Geishas Actually use a little bit more of decoration in the hair in daily work, and is something actually quite common in placed where are not aprentices and the girls even the youngest ones debit directly as Geishas. the hair thing is something that comes from an old rule created to make the diferent from the courtesan s and prostitutes like oirans and yujos. About the kimono yes that is almost correct, actually they have like 3 kimonos to use per month as well as aprentices do, but are not the same type, you can tell by the sleeves and decorations as well, and that is what I'm pointing in my comment usually people love to se the aprentices because they are cutier and that is why they are usually the ones that dance and in fact their name refers to they are the girls who dance instead the oldest ones are full artists. the one in this video actually looks like a Kyoto geisha but I'm not fully sure because the way her obi is tied and the back are not familiar to me, make me doubt a little bit, I will ask to someone who is directly linked to the karyukai and let you know who she is.
I was rushing my answer when I was replying to your comment my mistake "According to my own knowledge" Geigei is one of the many Japanese names used to describe "Geisha" Geigei in Kyoto are called Geiko Geigei in Tokyo are called Geisha Hangyoku are the Maiko of Tokyo Maiko are the Hangyoku of Kyoto Kyoto was the old capital of Japan, and it remains as the "traditional" side of Japan I understand what you are saying but their is somethings I disagree with I have never seen a Tokyo Geisha wearing many hair ornaments they usually only have a hair comb and a hair stick and that's it sometimes during important events I see them wearing small hair pins Kyoto Geisha have at least 5 hair ornaments in their hair, they wear more hair ornaments than Tokyo Geisha, I'm looking at the Geiko in the video she indeed looks like she is from Kyoto Geisha were once servants of high ranking courtesans like Oiran and Tayu until later on they became more independant and the entire culture changed I've noticed that Kyoto Geisha only wear 1 kimono for the entire month when they perform an ozashiki and that Tokyo Geisha alternate between different Kimono's Im quite educated in traditional Japanese culture so I'm confident that I know what I am talking about, I am also a Nihon Buyo dancer so I know a thing or two about Geisha however I am no expert, the information that I am telling you is what I know of Tourists and many Japanese people find Maiko to be cute because Maiko are young and they wear bright colors and their Hana Kanzashi is alluring especially their Furisode I don't fully understand your comments because your grammar makes your comments hard to read so it is hard to define them
