Kyoto-----!!!!

Kyoto---!!!

I took some Hawaii girls to Kyoto and transformed them into....Maiko-san!!!

A Maiko-san is a younger version of a Geisha, which is a female entertainer.

The meaning of gei is "art" and sha means "person of".





ハワイガールズを連れ、京都に行ってきました～

京都に勿論お寺などを見に行ったのもそうですが、一番の目的は

舞子さんになる為！



To start off, you wear tabi which is like socks for when you are wearing a kimono.





まずは、足袋から。

彼女達にしてみたら、この足袋も不思議でしょうがない。



Then you change into this robe. Here I am ready to get my face painted!!






まずは、バスローブに着替えてから

顔をメイクします！


They use a special type of make-up to paint your face.

The majority of your face is done in white, while your eyes and lips are painted red.

It's funny to see my own face painted all in white because the rest of me is dark!!





次は、特殊なメークの材料で顔を真っ白に！

目の回りと口だけ真っ赤に。







いかがですか？　顔真っ白で、その他は全部真っ黒！

何だか変だわ～。



After we decided on our kimono, they helped us put it on and at the end,

we had to put on this wig.

The wig is super heavy and I seriously thought it was going to break my neck!

I will put our kimono pictures up tomorrow!　





最後に鬘を付けて、終了～！

でも、この鬘がまた重い事！ 　首が痛くなっちゃう程の重さでした。

次回に私達の舞子姿をお見せしますね！！

お楽しみに～～。
