Celebration of Autumn in many places of the world!

The Autumn Geisha dances in the ancient capital of Kyoto run from beginning of October til mid November. The first to kick off is Gion Kobu district with their ‘Onshūkai’ performed at the Kaburenjo Theatre. The Onshukai started as a ‘year review’ where the Maiko and Geiko demonstrated individual performances to showcase their learning over the year. Tickets are often sold by the artists directly to those who attend private ozashiki (parties) so getting a seat is quite the kudos moment!
