There are only around 1,000 Geisha`s in all of Japan. And which reminds me I have a great story for you. We were completely lost. (Not the first time) We had our maps out looking around for directions to see a Geisha theater performance. The sun was out and it was that type of wind and afternoon breeze that was perfect. We went towards a small park and happen to notice a bunch of artists drawing. What a great scene people relaxing and drawing. Across the way, on a small stone bridge, were two young apprentice geisha`s - Miako`s elegantly dressed with the most colorful hibiscus kimonos. The hair piece, white make up and red lipstick and the most elegant movements of the hands, the way they walked, against the backdrop of black and brown drab colors around, these people were shining. Sue and I had to take a picture with them. Of course I towered over them. Amazing. Well, we took out our map and ask here where the Geisha performance was. She gave us the directions and we bowed respectively. After a couple of moments we had a huge laugh. We couldn`t believe what just happened. Talk about random moment. Asking directions to a Geisha theater from a Geisha. It was a small thing but the moment was sure surreal. We made it just barely in time to make it to the performance. The dance and movements with Irises and umbrellas. There were at least 15 Geishas on stage singing with live music, truly an awe experience.
