Geisha in Hakata


During this heyday there were over 2,000 registered geisha in Hakata, but now there are only 21, ranging in age from their teens to their 80s. This picture was taken when they participated in the Hakata Dontaku Festival on last May when they performed onshamisen and taiko drums, and sing and dance on stages located in front of hakata za.
