Since I have came to Japan and read "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden, I have been trying to get a good picture of one in the flesh - or more like in the porcelein. They walk so poised and fast. I have seen geisha (or maiko) on 4 different occasions but have never been able to take a very good picture. This May my day came not only because I finally got a good picture but also because we (Joanna, Jon, and I) were able to watch the very famous geisha (or maiko) cherry blossom dance called Miyako Odori.
