En regardant cette photo, on pense tout de suite \u00ab\u00a0Geisha\u00a0\u00bb, l’une des images ic\u00f4ne du Japon.<\/p>\n
Une Maiko est en fait une apprentie Geisha ou Geiko. Leur travail consiste \u00e0 chanter, danser et jouer du shamisen (instrument japonais \u00e0 trois cordes) pour leurs clients lors de f\u00eates ou de soir\u00e9es organis\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
Les Maiko sont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement \u00e2g\u00e9es de 15 \u00e0 20 ans et deviennent des Geisha lorsqu’elles ont appris \u00e0 danser (une sorte de danse traditionnelle japonaise), \u00e0 jouer du shamisen, et \u00e0 parler le Kyo-kotoba (dialecte de Kyoto), ceci quelque soit leur r\u00e9gion d’origine.<\/p>\n
Dans la matin\u00e9e, les Maiko prennent des le\u00e7ons pour am\u00e9liorer leurs performances Le soir, elles vont travailler, ex\u00e9cutent des danses, chantent chansons, jouent du shamisen, et servent du sak\u00e9 \u00e0 leurs clients.<\/p>\n
Elles restent (ou essayent) un peu secr\u00e8tes. La meilleure fa\u00e7on de les voir est d’attendre \u00e0 Gion (Kyoto) devant leur \u00e9cole d’o\u00f9 elles apparaissent rapidement pour dispara\u00eetre dans un taxi, ou encore pr\u00e8s de l’entr\u00e9e de ces maisons de th\u00e9 o\u00f9 elles passeront la soir\u00e9e dans des salles priv\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
