Learning about Geiko & Maiko!~

Today's cultural activity we learned about Geiko and Maiko. We headed to the auditorium on Ritsumeikan's campus to view three women formally dressed in kimonos. 

*Note: "Geisha" is the term used in and around Tokyo, "Geiko" is used in and around Kyoto.

Geiko are traditional Japanese entertainers that perform several arts, such as dancing, singing, and playing instruments. Their main objective is entertain and keep parties lively.
