Maiko are apprentice geisha. When they have completed their training, they exchange their garments for those normally worn by geisha.

I own both a yukata and a furisode, which I got on sale because it was used (had only a minor stain on the inside collar!). I love wearing them, and once you get used to certain things, they're pretty easy to put on. I do have to say, however, occasionally they can be a little impeding. Especially when you need to run somewhere ^_^;

Yea I knew about maiko ^^ i read Memoirs of a Geisha, that learned me allot. But I want to read Geisha a life too, heard that its much better.
I wish I owned any sort of kimono.

How awesome that you know so many things, Gwen ^^ I wish I did
