▶Kyoto dance performance by geisha and maiko
Kyomai (Kyoto Mai Dance) will be performed in the Inoue style by a geiko or maiko. A rare opportunity for visitors to see these graceful dance up close, allowing them to experience the permanent exhibit more intimately. Two Kyomai songs will be performed for a total of about 15 minutes.
▶Permanent Exhibition on Kagai Art Culture
An introduction to the world of geiko, maiko and their culture through a diverse range of exhibits, from exquisite hand-painted Yuzen kimono and Nishijin brocade obi sashes, to personal belongings and makeup used by maiko. Exhibits feature precious items such as kanzashi hair ornaments for each season and black crested formal kimono, which are rarely seen in the Gion quarter. Along with photographs conveying the unique atmosphere of the Kagai district, immerse yourself in this secretive yet glamorous world.-In the Kagai districts of Kyoto, women who perform traditional dance and music in ozashiki banquet rooms and on stage and entertain guests are referred to as geiko (and not geisha). Women training to become geiko are called maiko.
