Maiko

Maiko is part of my "Japanese women" project on the lives of Japanese women in a country ranked 118th out of 148 in gender equality. I aimed to connect my photos with the spirit of 幽玄 - yūgen: a melancholic beauty that can't be described with words.
This particular picture presents a mysterious young maiko - a future geisha.
