WOW :O

  hey, I am geeting to feel like it's been a long long time since i last went to school :O
how about you girls and Mrs Kitao?

anyway, i got started to read the book. All i can say about the book right now is we japanese dont know anything about ourown culture.
it's kind of shame. i felt like i am a feeling like i was a foreigner while i am reading.




have you ever known that Maiko and Geiko are completely different ones?



i havent. the biggest different between them is the age. but there are some more defferences.
the book says that Maiko means the girls who learn Kado the japanese flower arrebgement, tea ceremony, how to play Okoto and lots more Japanese hospitarity. and they are the apprentices of Geiko.
So if you want to be a Geiko, you must be Maiko.
and many many time ago,there are one more requipment to be Geiko.
it's to be a braid of a rich man!
It's a little bit interesting for me. because, i was thinking that Geiko or Maiko can't get married as long as they are in Karyukai "the society of Geisha".

i think it's telling lots more about my country's culture :)
and it's very fun to know it more and more.

It's so lovely to meet you all :)

     Hello all!
thank you for comming my blog. :)

    first,about my self.
My name is Mai Kano. Please call me just "Mai". I live in Nara with my family, my mother and my younger sister; Nene.
    I like reading, watching movies and musicals and painting.
As I wrote before, I like reading. I like every kinds of books.
So, this reading project is kind of fun for me :)

Now, let me talk about the book I chose to read.
It's "Geisha A Life". As you can guess from the title. This is a story about Geisha.
This book was given to me by one of the people who I look up.
I want to learn the Geisha culture and life in Kyoto.

From now, I will start reading this book :D
