Hanagasa Gyoretsu: Pontocho
The maiko Hisano looks calm and composed before joining the geiko of Pontocho in offering a dance to the dieties of Yasaka Shrine.
With a rare view of their own hair pulled back in a sleek, simple pony tale, the geiko of Pontocho ride through Kyoto in a flowered float during the Hanagasa Kyoretsu, the Procession of Flowered Hats.
Dressed as miko, or shrine maidens, Hisano performs "Kabuki Odori" with her fellow geiko.
