Oiran (花魁) - Oiran were the highest class of courtesans in Edo (now known as Tokyo). An oiran was valued not only for her beauty and charm, but also her wit, knowledge, and skill in traditional Japanese arts. Their dress often consisted of layers of ornate kimono and extremely elaborate hairstyles, with one distinguishing feature being an obi tied at the front of the body rather than at the back. Though there are no longer any oiran left in Japan because of laws. Elaborate Hairstyles, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Traditional Japanese Art, Michelle Yeoh, Japan Culture

If you ask politely, Maiko-san and Geiko-san might pose for you, but never be insistent or rude or get in their way. When you see them, they're at work; treat them as professionals. Also, never photograph their clients. Beautiful Geisha, Kabuki Costume, Japanese Outfits
