Kyoto, Japan. Komomo, a maiko with umbrella. This girl is an apprentice maiko, Komomo or “little peach,” in training with her onee-san “older sister.” Yachiho-san is a fully trained geisha, or geiko as Kyoto’s geisha are known. I was invited to enter the mysterious world of these artisans and access some private time with the girls as they prepared for their evening.
