CORRECTION: The maiko Satonami performs in the opening scene with the geiko Chiyoe and Kanachisa. Thank you to everyone who pointed out this mistake!The past few days have been incredible: full of maiko, geiko, sunshine and cherry blossoms in full bloom. We even stumbled upon a procession of Oiran! Everywhere I look, I see a haiku. If only I had the words to share them with you.
Well, I'm no Basho, but I do have a camera (^_<) There is absolutely nothing like Kyoto in the spring. It's like a dream! I can't wait to show and tell you all about it!
If anyone would a program from any or all of the spring dances, please contact me or leave a comment! Peter MacIntosh has uploaded a few images from this year's Miyako Odori program to his blog! Check it out!
More updates coming soon...

I'd love to see the Odori program for this years dances! That would be most wonderful! It's great you're back in Japan, as we'll get to see all the wonderful pictures you take! :D
No, Satonami did not turn her vollar yet. The geiko on the far right is actually Toshihana (^_<)
On your picture, is that really Satoai in the front? She looks far more like Satonami to me! Thanks, Melissa!
Hi Melissa!
Yes, I'd love to have a programme from Miyagawa-cho again and from Kamishichiken if you're going to that one! Thank you!
