Mamesuzu
This photo of Mamesuzu taken in 2003 still stands out for me today for two reasons: it was the first time I ever photographed a maiko with the sakko hairstyle, and it was one of the only times in almost ten years I've taken a photo on Hanami-koji, the main street of Gion Kobu.
For those interested, this photo appeared in my first book, One Hundred Views of Maiko and Geiko (2006).
