"Kagai" is a town where the culture of geisha and maiko who show heartfelt hospitality through their dancing and other traditional arts has been passed down for generations, and where Kyoto's traditional culture is carefully preserved. Kyoto's Kagai has flourished as a major center of hospitality culture.
In the Kagai district, geisha and maiko have the spring and autumn performances as their one goal, but they also spend their days training in dance and other performing arts, as well as studying traditional culture such as the tea ceremony. The kimonos and other attire that complement them are supported by the skills of many artisans, including traditional craft artisans, hairdressers, and kimono dressers. In addition to events unique to the Kagai district, such as the opening ceremony, they also inherit seasonal customs and continue to cherish and protect Kyoto's traditional culture by participating in traditional Kyoto events such as the Jidai Matsuri.
Let's experience traditional culture at this valuable museum located in the entertainment district of Gion Kobu.
