In the ancient capital Kyoto, geiko, or traditional female entertainers, made New Year courtesy calls on their instructors on Sunday.
It is traditional for geiko and maiko, or apprentice geiko, in the city's Gion district to visit their instructors on December 13th to express their gratitude for the past year and exchange New Year's greetings.
The women, dressed in colorful kimono, visited the home of Japanese traditional dance teacher Yachiyo Inoue.
On receiving greetings from the women, Inoue gave each of them words of encouragement and a new folding fan to be used next year.
One of the women, Mameyuri, said she wants to practice more next year so that she can dance better.
