Overview
Kagai, literally translated as “Flower Town,” is the term Kyoto people use for the districts where the geiko and maiko practice the high-class arts that have made their beauty and refinement legendary the world over. There are five Kagai in Kyoto: Gion Kobu, Miyagawacho, Pontocho, Kamishichiken and Gion Higashi.
This over 300-page volume is divided into five chapters:
ELEGANCE OF GEIKO AND MAIKO: Features the beauty of the protagonists in Kagai, with the details on their hairstyles and flower ornaments.
SPLENDOR OF DANCE STAGE: Features geiko and maiko on the stage, showing their seriously pursued entertainment skills.
FOUR SEASONS IN KAGAI: Presents a lot of annual events throughout the year.
GION BETWEEN 1973 AND 1985: Shows the tradition in Kagai.
TRANSITION FROM MAIKO TO GEIKO: Documenting a girl entering this world as an apprentice, and her efforts for 5 years to become a geiko.
This definitive photo collection will be a good introduction to Kyoto’s traditional culture.
