Walking through the Gion area of Kyoto, I came across some maiko groupies (otaku). Maikos are apprentice geisha. However she may have been a geiko (a geisha – can’t tell the difference). She was making the rounds paying respects to business contacts with a small crowd following her. These groupies were depicted in the comedy movie Maiko haaaan! – I guess these people really exist.

ちょっと目を離したら、こんなところに行ってたのか。。。
I wonder how often the groupies follow her every week.
I’m going to watch the movie on this, sounds very interesting.
Aren’t geisha usually a bit more ‘overdressed’ with bright colours and yewellery? Can’t think of the English word for what I mean but I hope you understand 🙂
