Synopsis
"The Kagai in Kyoto" is a definitive collection of the photographs of 'Kagai,' Kyoto's entertainment quarter. Photographer Mizobuchi has taken pictures in Kagai for more than 40 years, and this best selection beautifully presents the Geiko (professional female entertainer) and Maiko (apprentice Geiko), with Kyoto's traditional sceneries., Kagai, literally translated as "Flower Town," is the term Kyoto people use for the districts where the geiko and maiko practice the high-class arts that have made their beauty and refinement legendary the world over. There are five Kagai in Kyoto: Gion Kobu, Miyagawacho, Pontocho, Kamishichiken and Gion Higashi. This over 300-page volume is divided into five chapters: ELEGANCE OF GEIKO AND MAIKO: Features the beauty of the protagonists in Kagai, with the details on their hairstyles and flower ornaments. SPLENDOR OF DANCE STAGE: Features geiko and maiko on the stage, showing their seriously pursued entertainment skills. FOUR SEASONS IN KAGAI: Presents a lot of annual events throughout the year. GION BETWEEN 1973 AND 1985: Shows the tradition in Kagai. TRANSITION FROM MAIKO TO GEIKO: Documenting a girl entering this world as an apprentice, and her efforts for 5 years to become a geiko. This definitive photo collection will be a good introduction to Kyoto's traditional culture.
