@kyotomylove: Hangyoku; Tokyo’s equivalent of the maiko you find in Kansai but still with its own unique differences. The word “hangyoku 半玉” literally translates to “half jewel”💎 This hangyoku is named Miwa 美羽さん, literally “Beautiful Feather”🪶🕊️ dancing a piece called “yakko-san” Because the geisha districts in Tokyo are becoming more and more residential and because so few girls pursue the geisha profession outside of Kyoto, hangyoku are becoming a even rarer sight than Kyoto maiko nowadays. I hope more girls will enter the profession in Tokyo💗🙏🏻 #geisha #geishaculture #geishadance #hangyoko #furisode #yakkosan#mukojima #japanesedance #芸者#半玉#半玉さん#振袖#芸者さん#向島#料亭
