Japanese doesn't have a definite article, so you pretty much have to say, "Shogo desu."

Might be worth to compare them to Oiran, a lot of people mixes up Geiko and Oiran.

I heard that a young woman dressed as a Maiko or Geisha who walks in public as discrete as possible would be a real Maiko/Geisha. A woman dressed as one who doesn't mind having her picture taken or maybe even poses for a tourist. Well those are Japanese girls who like attention..

I wondered what the diffrence was. I assumed the maiko's were in training to become gaiko but I wasn't sure. This video explained it very well. I have ADHD so keeping my focus on a explaining video can be difficult, but your explaination was so calm and simple it made me concentrate the whole video! Thank you.

I didn't know about the bells in Maiko's Okobo! That's so cute and clever

@PerfectPride 2 года назад

I love how many videos you have on geisha. I’m learning so much! I always thought the bell sound came from the hair ornaments, not the shoes- that’s SO COOL. I’m curious. If a maiko is a young person training to become a geisha, what happens if an adult wants to become a geisha? Can an adult begin geisha training? Do they have a certain names? Do they skip over all the visual differences that maiko have? Can’t wait for more videos on this topic!

@moushimou3170 2 года назад

Hi there! I hope I can help~ If a person is too old to have an apprentice stage, they would start their journey as a shikomi (Just like the maiko) and debut straight out as a geisha/geiko (Called a Misedashi, she would never experience an erikae because there is no "Collar to turn") . Generally speaking in Kyoto they will work as Jikata, musicians, as they're in high need and the dancing repertoire a maiko would have at her erikae would be hard to catch up with. In Kyoto's Gokagai there are generally two or three women who debut straight out as geiko every year, in Tokyo it's more common for women to debut straight out as Geisha compared to the few that might debut as hangyouku. One of the most famous geiko who debuted straight out as Geiko was Geiko Umeha-san who performs both as a musician and dancer.

@p.2104 Год назад

Although as a Niigata resident for six years, I learned that Geisha/Geiko are called “Geigi” in Niigata. So I guess there is another term for them in Japanese dialects..

@natsukitatsumakiniji Год назад

Doesn't surprise me. I think Nagasaki is similar. Teaching students in Nagasaki for five years, no one knows what a 'geisha' is, sometimes they know 'geiko.' They know what a 'maiko' is, but everyone knows the managing company for the prefecture called the Nagasaki Kenban.

@annakasyanova9573 3 года назад

thank you)) great video, all clear now)) How does it work now - should Maikos do both their training and regular school?

@LetsaskShogo 3 года назад

Thank you for leaving a comment! Compulsory education is until middle school in Japan, that's why Maikos start their training when they are 15 years old. However once they start their trainings, they will not be able to go to high school nor college. The way they are trained, is quite traditional.

@pavdimi3900 3 года назад

Great video Shogo!! Learnt a lot! Why is it that some Geisha blacken their teeth for events?

@LetsaskShogo 3 года назад

Thank you so much for writing a comment! The reason is actually very simple... Black teeth were thought to be beautiful in Japan! It is a tradition that may have started around the 4th century, a very long time ago. In 1870, once Japan westernized though, dying teeth black was once for bidden by law, because foreign countries thought it was not beautiful. But now the traditions have revived, and geishas and maikos in Kyoto sometimes dye their teeth black.

@SuperShinkazu 3 года назад

If Shogo allows me, I'd like to add that nowadays no geisha paint their teeth black, only the maiko do this for like 1 to 2 weeks right before becoming a geiko in a ceremony called erikae. It's like a rite of passage to symbolize adulthood.

@arinrumi 3 года назад

If they start training since after middle school, do they still go to high school or do they quit school by then?

@LetsaskShogo 3 года назад

They would have to stop going to school at middle school! So most of the trainees would not go to high school or university!

@trkimura 2 года назад

@arinrumi 3 года назад

Hi Shogo, question. Do all Maiko has a same hairstyle all over Japan or do they have different hairstyle in each area in Japan? (Planning to make a fanfic that has Maiko in it. But I'm not interested in trying to make an accurate to IRL. So I was thinking of a Maiko with different hairstyle just to make it clear that it was set in fictional setting that is not Kyoto.). (I try to be accurate to IRL so many time and always fail. So I'll just go with the fantasy route.). Sorry for the sudden ranting.

@moushimou3170 2 года назад

I hope I can help~ You might want to know that the term Maiko is only used in the Kansai region, so you might want to think about where your story is set so you use the correct terms. Apprentices in the Kanto region are called Hangyouku. Maiko wear a lot of different hairstyles through their careers for special events and to show seniority. The every day hairstyle of a junior maiko is the Wareshinobu and the every day hairstyle for a senior maiko is the Ofuku, but again, maiko in Kyoto will go through about a dozen or more hairstyles. For Hangyouku these days both senior and junior will wear the Momoware hairstyle as a wig, except for the few kagai in the Kanto region that allow their girls to choose to have their natural hair styled ^^

@yeaupchyju4047 2 года назад

Hi, I just wanna ask a question. why does maiko don't wear wigs while geisha wears them?

@hawkfeather6802 2 года назад

I was wondering what they were. I didn't know geisha's were still around.

@tazee7184 Год назад

If Maiko start training at 15, takes 5 years to train, and the limit is 20 years old, are they not 20 by the time training ends already? Or do they work while also training?

And most importantly of all since there is still this ridiculous misconception floating around: Geisha and Maiko are NOT prostitutes! Do not hire a geisha with the expectation of having adult fun times with them. It's insulting and will get you blacklisted.

One thing you didn't mention is that Maiko only using lipstick on their lower lip where as Geko or Geisha use lipstick on both upper and lower lips.😀

@clarafaria6613 Год назад

Actually, I’m not a expert, but for what I read Maiko only have lipstick in the lower lips in her first years. When she start to getting more mature and close to become a geisha she can wear in both sides.

@moushimou3170 7 месяцев назад

Maiko paint both their lips after they finish their first year of training. The exception to this is Pontocho where girls start to paint both lips as soon as they start practicing. The minarai in Pontocho have their top lip just barely painted but after they debut both lips are painted equally ^^

@blushblossom 2 года назад

Wait so are both Geiko and Maiko Geisha and do they both have the same job technically

@mk098a 2 года назад

Geiko is the Kyoto term for Geisha, a Maiko is an apprentice in Kyoto, in other areas an apprentice Geisha is called a Hangyoku

@arinrumi 3 года назад

So, does Maiko go to high school? Or is the Geisha training is their high school?

@LetsaskShogo 3 года назад

Most people who become Maikos, don’t go to high school! They need to live together with their superiors to train under them, and they are not even allowed to hold cell phones!
