It seems a bit weird watching a silent movie about music and an orchestra, and having to imagine the sounds.
I want to cry from the sheer beauty of it!
i love japan my Dreams
I loved watching this. Thank you for putting this up.
Those fabrics are gorgeous!
Wow, To think my grandmother lived in Japan during this time ... Amazing to see : D
Wow, that was great. Thanks for posting it.
Japan looked great.
Still does.
That dance is music itself, unbelievably good!
しぐさや表情で日本女性がどう扱われていたか解かりますね
You also need to keep in mind, for those who will criticize, the obi style in which a Maiko's obi was tied may be darari now but that style only came around in the 1930s and after.
@kruthix No, geisha can dance and play music in groups (look at the Kyo Odori, Asuma Odori, etc.) and the new girl that looks uncoordinated in the clip may have been a new maiko.
It show us that geisha's job isn't just an ordinary entertainer, they are also something idol group nowaday ..
Pena não ter o áudio da gravação , gostaria de ouvir a musica quê estavam tocando :) .
Tão tocando Anita. 🤣
ROCK ON GRRLLZZZ ...
@TofuCowsGoesMOO Some were definitely maiko, you can tell by their hairstyle. They did become geisha younger back then... but they were also waaaaaaaay tinier back then. They look like little people... if you know what i mean.
2:59 At 1920 using rocks like stairs... How crazy
Poderia ser no original colorido,e com som.
They look _innocent_, that's the best way I can put it.
Most of the younger girls at the beginning aren't geisha; they are clearly Maiko, or, apprentice geisha. There are other entertainers in Japan, obviously--but most of the girls at the beginning--even some who are dressed out of the general Maiko way, double as Maiko. Others were singers or shamisen players and the singers are usually the ones that weren't fit to become Maiko.
Japan = best country
Beautiful! Cute! Are they infant geisha girls?
I think these are actually geisha and apprentice geisha from Kyoto o-o
They were so young back then >
Late but, theyre both apprentices and some of the women playing instruments in the back are full fledged geisha or geiko.
700th like! 😄🎉
hmmm...very pretty! ^^
Yes!! I totally agree, To my eyes Japan and it’s cultures are amazing.
Those are Maiko and Geiko, instead of just regular women. If you look at the hairstyles you'll see they are what Maiko wore during those years. Geiko were much more demure and simplistic in styles than Maiko so they are usually harder to tell.
some geisha school I imagine. They started off young back in the day. These days, 16 or 17 is considered young to start. that one girl on the left looks to be maybe 12 or so.
Boring? I think it's a cool and ancient art. Some people fine charleston boring? Not even people in America like it anymore. Today it's only rap and rnb.
昔、9歳で踊りの稽古をしていた舞妓が当たり前にいた。20歳で芸妓になるまでに熟練した技術を身に着けるには、十代のすべての時間が必要だった。今は、一人前になるためには、時間的に無理がある。
aki32g 日舞は良家のお嬢様のお稽古事です、確か皇族清子内親王も日舞を習ってらして、舞台発表の映像もあります、(衣裳も自前で、とてもお金のかかる贅沢なお稽古です)日舞を芸妓だけと言う事は無いです！
I think I was born in the wrong era. I shouldve been here
踊りの少女がはいているのは下駄ではなくてぽっくりですね。
ああ、カラーで見たい！
These aren't geisha. There are other sorts of entertainers in Japan than geisha!
Judging from the uncordination of the dances these are not real geisha including the fact that geisha would usually only dance solo
Maybe little sister acts husband, and senior acts wife. This dance have a story, I guess.
舞妓さんの顔が妙に小さく皆同じ顔に見えた😅
.
They are Maikos.. apprentice geishas
しかし昔の日本女性って魅力的だな。タイムマシンがあったらデートしてみたい。彼女たちとお話したら、どんなことを聴けるかな。
エッチしたいよね
are you pretty enough to be geisha?
RIP english
These hardly look like "professional" entertainers, since there is no co-ordination in the dance moves and the girls look very young. And just how hard could it be to learn to beat a drum?
no coordination? were you even watching?
Japan was dull even in the 20's! They should have traded in those boring instruments for the banjo and saxophone and those kimonos for short skirts and those folk dances for the Charleston!
VictrolaJazz then the world becomes so boring, no variety in cultures, no originality and no appreciation of differences.
Bitch please
