Maiko T-Shirts
Description: Some dogs fetch sticks. Some dogs wear an immaculate floral kimono, accessorise with kanzashi, and look like they have reservations somewhere you absolutely cannot afford. This ridiculously elegant poodle brings maximum fluff, maximum ceremony, and the quiet confidence of someone who knows the entire room is looking at them. Cool fact: In Kyoto, maiko are apprentice geiko, and their elaborate kanzashi hair ornaments traditionally change with the seasons.
Description: Ink, gouache and digital. Japanese women have been perfecting the art of entertainment for hundreds of years. Yet the term geisha, or geigi, only emerged in the 18th century. Geishas are seen as successful, skilled and emotionally strong. There is no equivalent to geisha in the West, therefore, the literal translation ‘entertainer’ is often used.
