舞妓は大変な仕事です。

お女将様、素晴らしい！

やっぱり舞妓さんは忙しいですね。大変ですね。

Dear Alien ;]
Kotoha stopped because of an illness...

@kittycathappy They were referring to the warishinobu hairstyle being that of younger maiko and the ofuku being that of the more senior maiko, The older maiko had just gotten her hair styled in the ofuku style and went to show her okasan who told her to turn around so she could look at it and she said it was very nice and that it suited her well

@kittycathappy
The change is from "wareshinobu" hairstyle for maiko in 1-2 years of study to "ofuku" for maiko in their more senior years of study. It is a symbol of seniority and the number of years maiko have dedicated to the profession. Generally, maiko study for 5 years before becoming geiko.

I want to know if this documentary is on DVD, 'cause i want to buy it !  Like all the other ones you put on Youtube ;)

They don't have time to clean up. The Maikos/Geikos are too busy with events, schooling, practicing, and getting their hair done. They only have 2 days off a MONTH. Okasan (mother) is busy with making sure the girls are booked for events and making sure the girls are making money to pay back their debts. They normally have a maid that will do the cooking/minimal cleaning etc. They also make the younger beginners do chores as well.

lovely, thank you for always uploading these videos, keep em coming I'm watching them all ;)

what was the thing about the hair style? does anyone know where i can get the english sub of this? please help!

can some tell me what the hair mean at 7:34 because i not Japanese so i dont understand wat happen i watch this because i like japan traditional

I'm surprised - it's not a first video of geisha I've watched, so I couldn't have noticed that their houses are in a mess. Clothes on the everywhere, uncleaned-up beds... They are women after all

I want to know what she said to Chika-chan at 2:15 ?  Someone know ?
