Where: Kyoto
Words: Ancient-School Moves
On our way to the Gion neighborhood to see the Miyako Odori (spring dances performed by apprentice geisha), we passed Chionin Temple.
"this is where the buddhist university was founded"
Then we took a shortcut through Maruyama Park, where they apparently breed rocks with toes.
This shrine to the geisha is bright orange and festooned with paper lamps.
I don't know if these ladies were geisha-in-training or not, but they were certainly picturesque. Even in line at the noodle stand.
Ads for the Miyako Odori were plastered on teahouses all over town.
