Gion Geisha District- Okiya2 - a photo on Flickriver

            Another photo I took of an Okiya while walking in the Gion Geisha District of Kyoto, Japan. This time though, you get to see even more of the Okiya. To be so close to to where the geishas live but not be able to go any further had made my interest in them all the more intense.
