As we worked our way through narrow Gion streets, we were reminded of the centuries old tradition – we were re-living our own memories of Memoirs of a Geisha combined with our expectations of yester-year Japan!
The streets of Kyoto did not disappoint! They were quiet and gentile.
- Beautiful - Just Kyoto
We were delighted by this lady in kimono who posed for her photo – thank you!
I was again reminded by the Memoirs of a Geisha movie and the lines in the script that said,
True Geisha can stop a man in the street with a single look
- Kyoto Streets
And the other line -
We do not become geisha to pursue our own destinies
There was real ambience of old Japan.
- Kasa providing shade?
It was June and quite muggy – perhaps people were resting inside?
- It was lunch but quiet
- 3 lovely girls in yukata
- Wonderful to visit Kyoto - still full of tradition
The poor man on the jinrikisha wasn’t resting – it was hard work…
- Transport Anyone?
Some memories from – Memoirs of a Geisha
