Vanishing sublime dignity

 Maiko Makino

 

 Kyoto is famous for many things. Geisha are one of them. 

They live mainly in the areas of Gion and Kamishichiken

 

Makino-san and Mamemaru-san


 They perform at nearby " Ozashiki games " (traditional Japanese parlors) for the rich and famous.

Ordinary people don't go to those areas, and unlikely to meet geisha.

Because it is "the world of the night."

 
Higashiyama Hanatouro '10 #14

 

They have exuded an air of sublime dignity.

But that atmosphere is hard to find nowadays. 
They may be becoming the story of the past.

The gradual disappearance of something into history.
That's just the way it is.
