晴れの門出に相応しい良いお天気だったようで何よりでした。 芸妓さんも舞妓さんも時々見せる笑顔と仕草が、改めて二十歳そこそこの女性なんだという事を垣間見せてくれますね^^ 今の時代にこの厳しい世界に14,5歳の頃から身を置き、沢山の習い事や厳格なしきたりや作法を学び芸舞妓さんになられる事は私達の知りえる事がない、強い信念と思い、そして大変なご苦労があったに違いがありません。 また、その道へ進む事に後押しをしてくれた親御さん、その娘さん達を大切にそして一人前の芸舞妓に育てる為に尽力されている置屋さん地方さん、地域の方々達。 一人の芸舞妓さんを育てると同時に日本の文化と伝統を守る役割を担っている関係各所の方達に感謝です。 そして新たに芸舞妓になられた４人の娘さん、この度はおめでとうございます。 Annaさんも、おおきにどす～ｗ

コメント、誠にありがとうございます。 久しぶりに秋を感じられる気候でとても心地よかったです。 山親爺さまがおっしゃられた通り私には想像もできないような強い信念がなければなることができない厳しい世界だと思います。 私も、そのような強い信念をもって行動ができるようになりたいです。 舞妓さんや、芸妓さんの所作一つに壮大な歴史と伝統が凝縮されているのだなと改めて実感いたしました。

@@modtomodern The state of the arts in the west is not so good. Marxists have taken over, so all of the art being produced now is an attack on western traditions. Anyone who tries to revive western traditions through the arts is labelled a racist, a sexist, and every other 'ist' in the book. They get blacklisted and censored and even assaulted. Bomb threats are called on the venues. This kind of terrorism is how Communism takes over societies. Countries like China do the same thing to try to shut down Shen Yun, a traditional Chinese dance show that performs in the west.

[@brentbarnhart5827]

Most westerners do not know that those Kimonos cost over $20,000 usd. Most Japanese men pay more their wives Kimono's than the family car. (This is true, my wife is Japanese, her Kimono did cost me close to $20,000.) However my F250 cost me more than that, however we can't put her INTO my F250 in her Kimono, too high up. LOL So Kimono wins over F250

[@micky4fun]

@Brent Barnhart : Like Western clothes, Japanese kimonos cover a wide range of prices. There are some that are inexpensive, reasonably priced. Likewise, there are others at the top end which -- for numerous reasons -- cost thousands and thousands of Yens, often not worn but for exhibition purposes only.

[@brentbarnhart5827]

@@micky4fun Obviously they cover from cheap to expensive, but what you are speaking about "put on exhibition purposes only," I don't know any Japanese who "exhibits" their Kimono's... it is their CLOTHING. We don't exhibit our Levi's in the united States anymore than they their Kimonos, silly comment. My mother and wife WEAR their $15,000 to $20,000 Kimonos, it is their clothing. Many young people today "rent' their Kimonos for special graduations, etc. which is a fairly "new thing."

[@brentbarnhart5827]

@@micky4fun I suggested my wife "exhibit" one of her Kimono's at our ranch in America, in a room I wanted to put in Tatami floors and decorate it in a Japanese style, and she thought I had "lost my mind," put her expensive Kimono on exhibit, NO WAY. It is carefully stored away, not even put on a hanger. (They have a special way of packaging them up.)

[@micky4fun]

Brent: I just have one last comment -- do you think anybody here really cares how much you paid for your wife's kimono or why/how she wears it? Or that you purchased a F250? Seriously doubt it. If you are both happy, that is all that matters. It's your money.

Normal? Not really. It might come as surprise to many here that most Japanese have never seen a geisha. Geishas are in fact a very rare sight as there are only a few hundred left in Japan. I have been fortunate enough to encounter a couple of "real" geishas while visiting Tokyo. (Warning! There are many fake geishas around which may look like geishas but are really not, including tourists that dress up as geishas walking around Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan.).

@steve gale Even after the deed has been already done, while the situation continues it's natural to use ありがとうございます. This is typical mistake for beginner learners because they stick to that ありがとうございました is past form but ありがとうございます can be used for the past deed when the conclusion of the deed still exists. In this case, this video still exists on KZbin, so ありがとうございます is more natural. I passed N1 of JLPT, graduated from university in Japan and work at Japanese company but I don't feel ありがとうございます is wrong when I first saw the sentence. I asked this to my Japanese co-workers in today's lunch time, but all of them agreed with me. Plus, Japanese people in this comment use ありがとうございます actually.

芸妓さんも舞妓さんも宮川町は大衆的だと聞いています　京都の人は　法事などでも宮川町を利用するとか　大衆的なことと宮川町の襟替えやお店出しとは関係がありますか？

[@antihero9443]

置屋にもよるかもしれませんが、大衆的ではないと思います。

Hi. Why do enter from one house to another?Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Joselito Calugay They did greetings to owners of okiya okiya means maiko and geiko's house. It's like show business agency for maiko and geiko. they're finally becoming a geisha. so they said "thanks for okasan and please keep in touch from now on." they said "Ookini Okasan" Ookini = Thank you in Kansai dialect Okasan= mother

[@litocalugay3473]

Thanks Kiki. Planning to go next year.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@ravennas.2736]

@@user-se9xw3or6i thanks I was wondering about it too. Makes sense for the girls to be introduced to different agencies. They're so pretty and feminine. In the U.S. we've unfortunately lost a lot of our femininity.

Ravenna S. Most of Japanese women too. I'm a girl living in Tokyo, Now Watching the big bang theory on Netflix and eating Indian curry from Uber eats. These girls are not typical japanese girls. I respect them but i can't believe they didn't graduate high school. If you interested in this Hanamachi culture, i recommended you this comic books "Maiko san chi o Makanaisan" www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=141010

[@litocalugay3473]

Do they receive enough pay for being Maiko san or Geiko san?

Thank you for your comment.

这是两位级别很高的艺妓姐姐，不是很常见，她们是芸子（geiko/geisha）而不是舞子（maiko）

[@ianjogja1129]

What's they doing door to door?

[@annafilmproduction1143]

Thank you for your comment. Erikae (襟替え, the turning of the collar) is a ceremony where a maiko (an apprentice geisha) becomes a geiko and begins to wear the white collar of a geiko instead of the red worn by apprentices. Her hairstyle would also be changed from the ofuku-style to the shimada worn by older women. Misedashi (店だし, making business public) in Japan is a ceremony where a shikomi (an aspiring geiko) becomes a maiko (an apprentice geiko) and officially begins their career. After the ceremony is over the maiko will be guided through the streets by an otokoshi-san (male dresser) to their teachers and other okiya to thank them for their support and let them know they have debuted. Thanks.

菊弥江さん、3年で襟替え…！？

[@akazaynab]

7:02 OMG THAT'S YUKINA-SAN 😍😍😍😍 I remember her when she wasn't even a maiko yet oh myyyyy • kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaOneIeLopepeMU

[@annafilmproduction1143]

Thank you for your comment😊

[@moushimoushi8963]

Omg you're right!! I read your comment and I was like "What do you mean? Yukina-san hasn't practiced in years!" I figured she would still be close with her old kagai and old okiya but this is the first time I've actually seen her participating in such a big event. She looks fantastic!!

[@seki537]

7:01 Kikuyuさんですよね！？

[@Mean_Jean]

7:03 Kikuyu came for a visit?

[@itsmesumera]

Iam India girl wow so beautiful

[@annafilmproduction1143]

Thank you for always watching my video. I'm glad that you enjoyed this video😊😊😊

[@itsmesumera]

Wellcome i always watching your videos

[@micky4fun]

Interesting. What is the male escort accompanying the two young ladies (I think they are both geikos) called? What is his role? Must say that it’s not often I’ve seen a man with such a beard in Japan. He looks handsome and very elegantly dressed too. おもしろい。 2人の若い女性（どちらも芸者だと思います）に同行する男性の付き添いは何と呼ばれますか？彼の役割は何ですか？日本でそんなひげの男性を見たことがないことは間違いありません。彼はハンサムでとてもエレガントな服装もしている。

[@moushimoushi8963]

He's a member of the Kenban of Miyagawacho. You can kind of think of the Kenban as the governing board. They basically track everything and help with organizing big events. If it's not a member of the Kenban, it's the Otokoshi, the dresser, but I'm pretty sure he's from the Kenban.

[@shofuji023]

He is a dresser(Otokoshi 男衆). There is a new documentary on KZbin about him. The link is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXfdmoKiZtWFprs&ab_channel

舞妓はん芸妓はんにカメラを向けるのはどうかと思いますが。見て楽しむものではなかろうか？ 写真は1人1枚限りとかに制限かけて欲しいです。昔はそんなのなかったんだがなぁ。
