Kyoto, Maiko playing cards

Unused card, older, but because it had been in an album, there are several abrasions on the reverse, one of which interferes with the caption.  But we did learn something by doing our own research:  In Kyoto, these women are called geiko while in Tokyo, they are known as geisha, and a maiko is an apprentice geiko. She is a younger woman or even a child who is training in the arts of the geisha and geiko.  Grade: 4
