Kyoto Maiko on Pontocho

Kyoto Maiko on Pontocho京都先斗町舞子

We are not sure what if anything this lovely creature has to do with cycling, but she reeks Kyoto.

This maiko (apprentice geisha) known as Ichiraku is seated serenely near the Pontocho Kaburenjo Theater, in central Kyoto, surrounded by tourists, assorted leg-humpers, and a party of people she appeared to be with.

Poised and perfect.

It must be brutal work.

Editor's note: this photo was taken in May 2008.
