Japan - Maiko


Maiko is an apprentice geiko. Their jobs are performing song, dance, and shamisen (three-stringed Japanese instrument) to visitors at a feast. Maiko are from 15 years old to 20 years old, and they can be geiko after learning how to dance (a kind of Japanese traditional dance), play the shamisen, and they also learn Kyō-kotoba (dialect of Kyoto), regardless of where they are from.
