The Maiko that we met in Kyoto."A geisha is a type of woman in a kimono. A kimono is a type of robe with designs on it. In Tokyo they call them Geisha but in Kyoto they call them Maiko and Geiko. A Maiko is a Geiko in training. A Geiko is a Maiko that has completed her training. Maiko and Geiko both wear white face paint. I will tell you how to tell a Maiko from a Geiko. Maikos' kimonos have long sashes in the back of them and Geikos' kimonos had short sashes in the back of them. Maikos have higher shoes than Geikos do. Geikos wear wigs but Maikos do not. Maikos have lots of little ornaments [in their hair] but Geikos have only one or two ornaments. You say My-Ko, Guy-Ko, and Key-mono. I saw a Maiko and I got to take a picture with her. She was very beautiful."
