雨の降る京都の祇園地区を歩く。木屋町通から出発し、先斗町を通り、京都の有名な祇園地区の北と南を雨の中歩く。（レンズに雨が何回か写っていてすみません）。
芸妓さんや舞妓さんが仕事から近所へ歩いて帰るのを何人か見かけます。
Walking through a rainy Gion district in Kyoto. We start at Kiyamachi Dori, walk through Pontocho and then walk through the north and south parts of Kyoto’s famous Gion area in the rain. (sorry there is rain on the lens a few times). We see several Geiko or Maiko walking back from their jobs to their neighborhood.

Gion (祇園)is a district of Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan, originating as an entertainment district in the Sengoku period, in front of Yasaka Shrine (Gion Shrine). The district was built to accommodate the needs of travellers and visitors to the shrine. It eventually evolved to become one of the most exclusive and well-known geisha districts in all of Japan. Gion is the Japanese translation (via Chinese Qiyuan) of the Buddhist term Jetavana. Yasaka Shrine, located in this district is the center of the Gion faith.
The geisha in Kyoto do not refer to themselves as geisha, instead using the local term ‘geiko’. While the term geisha means “artist” or “person of the arts”, the more direct term geiko means essentially “a woman of art”.
