Either way, it is better for her to leave than to continue doing something that she no longer wanted to do. The great thing about the geiko today is they do it because they want to- they choose to dedicate themselves to their art, and they have the freedom to leave when they want to. I wish her happiness and success in whatever she persues (^-^)/ Although I will miss seeing her perform!<BR/><BR/>Ichimame of Kamishichiken is the blogging maiko. <BR/><BR/>Ichimame of Pontocho is the maiko in the final picture. It is quite common for more than on geiko to have the same name (^-^) but it can get confusing.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976756138771912228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9658067.post-83717930479857751112007-06-03T11:09:00.000+09:002007-06-03T11:09:00.000+09:00Question: You mention Ichimame talking about the d...Question: You mention Ichimame talking about the dance in her blog, but on the final picture's caption, you say: "Ichimame leads the maiko of Pontocho in a farewell dance." Do you mean a different maiko?<BR/><BR/>And I agree.
