So, I’d been walking around Gion (in Kyoto) for a while, creeping around the small streets hoping to catch a glimpse of one of those elusive nighttime creatures - the Geisha. It wasn’t easy as they don’t like to be seen, but I managed - *just* - to get a few shots. Here are a few, huddled in the back seat of a taxi, most likely to be driven to a very wealthy client. I admire their ghostly white faces, red lips, black hair and above all their flawless demeanor. It gives me some good ideas for a photo-shoot… Matt From Wikipedia: Gion (祇園) is a district of Kyoto, Japan, originally developed in the Middle Ages, in front of Yasaka Shrine. The district was built to accommodate the needs of travelers and visitors to the shrine. It eventually evolved to become one of the most exclusive and well-known geisha districts in all of Japan. The geisha in the Gion district do not refer to themselves as geisha; instead, Gion geisha use the local term geiko. While the term geisha means “artist” or “person of the arts”, the more direct term geiko means essentially “a child of the arts” or “a woman of art”.
