Photographer's Note
I spent two days looking for maikos in the streets of Gion in Kyoto in May 2005. They move very quickly on their way to their appointments and are quite a challenge to capture. Here is one I particularly like. Note the bunny purse accessory in her arms.

Great capture, Chris, a fascinating image as much for the photography as the subject.
