Description This is a pic I took on my vacation in Kyoto, Japan several summers ago. I thought it was interesting, showing the two sides of Japan, modern and ancient. It displays the ancient Kyoto maiko and their traditional ways while also showing the new modern schoolgirls of this age. I love this picture and thought I should share it!

I know they're maiko. But titling it Maiko and Schoolgirls doesn't sound as good. :\

Great shot!

It's amazing how they kept their old ways.
Those geta look extremely hard to walk in.
(That is, if they are geta.)

You don't see many geisha nowadays, hm. It's a bit sad.

But I love the contrast between new and old.
