The Unseen World of Geiko and Maiko — Where Elegance Meets Reality
Discover the elegance of Kyoto’s maiko and geiko through this stunning bilingual photo book. Captured in the historic entertainment district of Miyagawa-cho, each image reveals moments of beauty—seasonal festivals, quiet preparations, and daily life behind the sliding doors of the ochaya (tea house). Photographed by a sommelier who works closely with the geiko and maiko of Miyagawa-cho, these portraits offer a rare and intimate view of Kyoto’s living traditions. Includes a special bookmark illustrated by a real maiko—a perfect keepsake or gift from Kyoto.
