Playing Geisha

This is in Asakusa, this woman is partaking in
a service which allows one to dress up as a Geisha,
in full costume, makeup and all. Her little one is
dressed as a little Samurai. Geisha normally remain
single while Geisha, if they marry, they are
required to retire. Contrary to legends and
rumors, pretty much originating from the
post WWII era, Geisha are not prostitutes.


















I might add, this little one was not thrilled,
he wasn't happy with the shoes, the costume,
or the attention. They had just stepped out
of a Ricksha ride when I rounded the corner.
