Geisha Hunting in Gion



We have created a new sport!
It's called Geisha hunting and this is how it works:
You stand on a street corner near to where Geishas are rumoured to be spotted, moving between appointments and you wait with camera in hand and more importantly, switched on.
If you're lucky, you spot a Geisha and then you follow them, taking as many photos as possible.
The one we got was actually a Meiko, which is a Geisha in training, you can tell this from the shoes she is wearing - not the very high ones a full Geisha must wear. Even so, she was pretty impressive to spot and extremely rare.
