Geisha Cliché

Higashiyama, Kyoto, Japan

These girls are not really Geisha. They just paid money to be dressed up like Geisha. This was taken outside a shop near Kiyomizu-dera that provides this service.

BTW for my international friends, the title rhymes if you say it with an Ocker Aussie Accent.

at Sendai and Morioka... by the bar districts.. They where called "hostess" keeping business men drinking and having a party time... Just for them to go back to work the very next day.. "hostess" would be the modern version of "Geisha" during national holidays... Hostesses would dress with Kimonos. felt like being back in time.. GOT TO LOVE JAPAN !!!!! ^_^
