Ran into a Geisha the other day...

Great great shot! All works right on and blends nicely.

Great. Reminds me of a story I saw a few weeks ago that interviewed the first ( and only, i believe) American Geisha in Japan. Quite interesting the schooling and prep they go through.

Awesome! thanks for sharing the photo

I understand Geishas are not a common site even in Japan

Nice work Loupey! That's the perfect background, light and timing.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment.

I'm not sure but she might be a Maiko (apprentice). Her entire outfit was quite impressive nonetheless.
