Happy Gaijin: Gion 嬉しそうな外人:祇園

A gaijin (non-japanese foreigner) stops in his tracks, captivated by the beautiful young maiko making her way through Gion. Actually, she is just a Japanese tourist paying to have her picture taken dressed up as a maiko, but she is beautiful, and he doesnt know that! I think his expression captures the sense of awe and wonder I feel whenever I see a geiko in Kyoto...

 

Too bad she`s a fake (A tourist playing dress up) (^_<)
