  • The only answer.

  • Okay, we oh, oh okay.

  • Uh huh, mm hmm.

  • I didn't know what to expect.

  • But this has been my dream for such a long time.

  • We were invited to dine with a real maiko and geisha who graciously entertained us and kept us company.

  • We were greeted by a professor of japanese history and translator who taught us all about the life these women lead.

  • I have never been so excited to hear and learn about their stories and enjoy my time with them.

  • I was so shocked to learn that the woman without the makeup is the full geisha.

  • You may be passing full geisha on the street and never even know it.

  • Oh my gosh, I'm just like nervous, I don't know what to say, the ornaments and the Michael's hair symbolizes the house that she lives in as well as the season we're in now so it can change depending on the time of year.

  • The professor told us that the Maiko is in training for almost six years before becoming a full geisha.

  • They're not allowed to go out shopping or to the convenience store and must be escorted to their job.

  • They wear their hair the way this might go is wearing it now every day.

  • And even at night they must sleep on a wooden pedestal like in the movie memoirs of a geisha if you've ever seen it and they aren't allowed to use social media or cell phones.

  • Yeah.

  • Mhm No call me a to see a dance like this up close and personal is very rare and it made me emotional because it seemed the dance was telling a story.

  • I was also emotional because I was so excited about this opportunity.

  • Oh my After the performance, we were invited to play some drinking games with the Maiko.

  • These games are called rosa shaky.

  • Also be the first game was called contour.

  • A funny funny basically an empty socket boxes placed upside down between two players and the geisha sings a song as the song progresses.

  • Each player must tap or lift the box in turn.

  • If the box is lifted, they must tap there closed fist on the empty table.

  • The key to the game is to get the other player distracted so that they tapped the table with an open hand instead of with a closed fist.

  • The music, it's faster as the game progresses and often the loser must drink from the sake box.

  • I think that a reward good.

  • Uh huh.

  • The next game is called Tora tora tora which means tiger.

  • Tiger Tiger.

  • A screen is employed and two players must hide behind each side of the screen.

  • A song is sung at the end of the song.

  • Each player must creep out from behind the screen while assuming one of three rolls samurai, old woman or tiger.

  • This makes the game a very elaborate form of rock paper scissors.

  • Old woman beats the samurai with her cane but loses to the tiger that eats her.

  • The samurai cuts down the tiger with his sword after this.

  • Amazing.

  • Once in a lifetime experience.

  • We had something sweet to eat and talked with the micro for some time.

  • Then we headed out the door to go home.

  • Oh, they're different.

  • Oh, by my stuff.
