She spoke English really well !! It’s amazing how patient and sweet she was to a foreigner even though it’s hard

[@bitch8205]

Kyoto gets a lot of tourists so she probably experienced many tourists and learned English that way

[@RachelLisa]

Wow. I would’ve loved to have this experience as I’m an American makeup artist. When I was visiting Japan, I walked in to a place where they sold the most beautiful kimonos I have ever seen. And the women who worked there grabbed me and just kind of started dressing me in one of their kimonos. I didn’t realize till after I was wearing it all that the whole ensemble was 10’s of thousands of dollars. I was so honored that these women wanted me to wear one of their robes, but I found out later that she said it was an honor and good luck for a geijing to wear the kimono. What a beautiful country and people.

[@Tallulahmermaid]

Wow so cool I want to take my mom to Japan so much

[@franziskaklaiber5768]

Yea thr wigs and kimonos the Geishas have are very very expensive!

[@Llh.811]

Ohhh, that's adorable 😍

[@goognamgoognw6637]

oh that is innocent and precious.

[@save_hyrule]

that’s so nice! i hope your daughter still thinks that way in the future it’s nice to see someone so young appreciate my culture :)

[@raven9155]

Aww how adorable 🥰!

[@username4263]

What an absolutely stunning transformation😍😍 the makeup artist is so precise with her application. Plus your beautiful features enhanced the look. Also it’s interesting how the artist lined your lips in a manner to make them dainty and smaller, mirroring a doll, as opposed to Western culture that values overinflated lips

[@Melly_6]

I can imagine the anxiety of the crowds and pictures while wearing that heavy and tight kimono and the awkward okobo while trying to walk in it all

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

... and not being in one of the Geisha/Maiko districts...

[@YocelinSheller]

Yes very! My husband had to help me walk lol much credit for their dedication 😩

[@MichelleSPodcast]

Because I am fully ignorant about this- why was it a cause for concern in the crowds? Because you didn't want them to take pictures? Thanks for your clarification. You looked beautiful though! :)

[@YocelinSheller]

Michelle Stewart Kyoto has a lot of tourists and the outfit will get lots of attention. Sadly not everyone is respectful and they try their best to keep you from walking away by blocking your way or grabbing you. At least from my experience. I had to stay near by. Thank you💕

[@minutekanji7082]

@@YocelinSheller oh no 😔 Why would they grab whithout knowing you ?

[@jessielet6149]

Honestly my dream is to one day go to Japan and see the beautiful traditional outfits, I’ve always wanted to wear one too, their culture and traditions are so beautiful. I have high respect for Japan and it’s people. 💜

[@melissacastle5172]

I love how the Japanese culture are happy when people want to wear their traditions, instead of screaming cultural appropriation they see it as a form of flattery. This is a beautiful way of thinking. Copy is the highest form of flattery.

[@sjhillshrewsbury6235]

Yeah, ikr, I think it’s because they know that just because you dress up that way doesn’t make you the real deal, so it’s fine

[@khwistal]

You’ll be suprised, but that’s actually the standard outside America.

[@sjhillshrewsbury6235]

I just re read my comment and realised how rude I sounded so I wanted to clarify- by ‘real deal’ I meant as in the process to becoming a geisha or being a geisha aside from the appearance- sorry if I offended anyone or anything.

[@kayladunaway7101]

The thing to really think about though is what the person is doing with those traditions. Like here, it's wonderful with people, nationals and tourists alike, enjoying and appreciating the culture with respect. I love that - it helps build a connection and understanding with the world around you while being an awesome experience! But, there are boundaries. For example, as a Native American, it's kinda insulting to see people wear poorly done, well, mockaries of lots of different traditional chlothing, war paint, ect., particularly around Halloween. That and the war bonnets at football game day parties. It gives off the feeling, intentional or not, that my culture is somthing of a joke, not respected enough to be taken seriously. They're done, generally, without thought or respect to the culture or cultures they originate from. It quite honestly boils down to one's dedication/intent to use/wear/do something in its proper setting, having researched before to fully see what you are doing (ie, does this piece of chlothing have a major significance that I do not grasp/wish to emulate, ect.), and being mindful (if applicable) to the historical connotations of you doing whatever. It's always good to ask someone from the culture if you can, if nothing else for a source of info on whatever you may be doing.

[@cheruichew1385]

This is a maiko makeover. It's is quite authentic and suitable for younger ladies because maikos are basically young geisha apprentices :) The collar you wore is full red which is the code for "entry-level" maiko. They use collars to show the ranks. Honestly, I love the makeup they put on you, it makes your eyes look very pretty. And they made you wear the high wooden heels omg! Must be difficult to walk with those

[@cathryncampbell8555]

Those shoes would kill me! Kudos to you for wearing them. You look lovely in your Western *&* Eastern garments.

I MNMK 綺麗ではあるけど、似合っているかと言われれば微妙じゃね？ 白塗りや着物は日本人のように平面的な顔立ちじゃないと違和感がある

[@user-id2bd8jh2s]

このお店は伝統的な舞妓の白塗りというよりは、現代化粧技術を取り入れた可愛く美しく写真を撮るためのメイクだから、外国の方にも似合いやすいです。それに合わせてメイクしてますし。 伝統的な白塗り化粧だったら、彫りの深い欧米の方にはなかなか似合わないと思います。

[@rosequeen7897]

I had no clue this was a thing for tourists, that would be so cool to try someday, it would be especially interesting to see how it would look on me seeing as I'm Irish and pretty much as white as white can be XD (Although chances are I couldn't afford it, but it's good to have dreams XD)

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

They value white skin, so you'd be fine. Now the interesting part would come with someone like myself, as I'm black, lol! (Or African American, if you wish). I'd love to try this though sans the white makeup. Still get the pink around the eyes and the porcelain lips and just do my own foundation before arriving. And my hair is already close to black so it would be okay if it were spray painted, lol! I'm probably a bit too old for the maiko look so a mature geisha would be nice.

[@infallibleblue]

I hope you get to try it one day. I heard it’s fun!

[@franziskaklaiber5768]

They have these types of " dress ups" in many many countries. One time I was dressed up as a Tribal Woman in Thailand and all the locals were laughing so hard and taking pics...I did not know which camera to look at. This one is probably expensive cause it took so much time.

[@jessyncust76]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley great idea they should cater to all colors of the world

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@jessyncust76 I'm not going to say "should", but it would be nice, lol. I actually got a glimpse of what a black woman as a geisha would sort of look like by watching this video of a biracial woman who was born and raised in Japan. Seeing her and her black side of the family (I suppose female cousins and such) in full furisode kimono and hair pulled back and decorated was pretty amazing and just really goes to show the versitility of how it can fit with almost anyone.

[@iharkins1]

That kimono looks amazing. I would love to have this experience.

[@HYBE_Entertainment]

You actually have a Maiko uniform... The difference is, Maiko have a red collar, while Geiko/Geisha have a white collar... Maiko usually have one lip painted when it's their first year, and both lips after one year, Geiko/Geisha usually are around 20 or older when they become one, Shikomi (an apprentice of the arts) are usually 70 pounds because all the ACTUAL accesories can weigh up to/more/less (than) 10kg. You do look stunning though! Geisha/Geiko also usually don't have the Kanzashi, they have more sophisticated looks (Kanzashi is the hair accessories). I am quite experienced and am trying to become a Shikomi at the moment, if you have any questions feel free to ask! ^^

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

As much as I respect the culture and think others should too, when they finished the makeup with no wig, I thought 'they should do her hair and let her be a blonde geisha. Then, with the first wig and shocks of blonds, I thought 'wow, that wouldn't be bad either!' Amazing transformation.

When I was in Kyoto I went to a place where you dress in kimono and they do your hair (pay extra for makeup so I didn't do it)... it wasn't a maiko style though. We (was with my cousin who also was dressed up) walked up to the near by temple... it was fun. Most of the people staring were Japanese, at least for us. Some asked to have pics with my cousin (she's tall) - they may have wanted me in as well but I think they mostly wanted her lol (we're both redheads)
