Lady Baba, landlady of this Kanazawa teahouse. Here’s an intimate look into her maiko’s dressing room 🎎⁣
⁣
She commands an undeniable presence, exuding mystery and grace. Perhaps it’s her unyielding eye contact. A geisha retires when she’s no longer able to kneel, she tells us. When she can no longer serve you tea with your gaze in her eye-line. A geisha never looks up at or down upon; always directly at.⁣
⁣
It’s not uncommon for modern girls to ditch their fast-paced careers to become geisha. She can either learn this from a master or go to geisha school in Tokyo. There’s no set time on her apprenticeship; her mastery of this ancient art is entirely dependent on her own affinity for it ✨⁣
