A day in Bangkok

Maiko Mitsuna, Hisasuzu and Geiko Ichifuku

Feb 2013

It's been a while... So great to see Maiko Mitsuna and Hisasuzu with Geiko Ichifuku. The excellent restaurant Tensui in Bangkok organized this event: Dance, chat and Chakai (tea ceremony). After the dance, I asked them for a short session in the garden. They kindly accepted although it was 35.C in BKK today...

Party in Gion

 Enchanting capture

Another timeless & stunning scene in Gion. Suzuko and other Geiko dressed up and getting excited by the parade to come. For some reason, I didn't take any picture of the parade. My focus was on this beautiful crowd.

Hi Everyone, it's been a while. So I thought it could be a good idea to post this lovely portrait of Maiko Satsuki. Some energy for the day!

What was she thinking about on her erikae, one of the greatest day of her career ?
Gion narrow streets enable to get this stunning natural light that enhance her white, black and red.
