A Special Evening in Kyoto

Unbelievably I had the opportunity to visit Gion and spend two unforgettable hours with several maiko and a geiko..

What an indulgence…　an eye-watering, truly luxurious experience — a refined and costly pleasure reserved for adults.

This special evening became possible thanks to the kind support of my ikebana teacher.
I feel truly grateful to be guided and cared for by such a wonderful teacher.

The best way to show my appreciation is simple — to continue improving my ikebana

Experience like this remind me how unique Kyoto is — from the elegance of Gion and the beauty of maiko culture to the quiet depth of ikebana.
If you are visiting Kyoto, I highly recommend exploring a traditional cultural experience such as an ikebana workshop.
