As maikos, these aspiring geishas focus on various disciplines, including dance, music, and the art of conversation. They learn to perform traditional dances that tell stories and convey emotions, as well as mastering the playing of instruments such as the shamisen. This intensive training allows them to develop a deep understanding of the cultural significance behind each performance.
In addition to the performing arts, maikos also continue to refine their knowledge of traditional customs, tea ceremonies, and the intricacies of kimono wearing. This comprehensive education not only prepares them for their future roles as geishas but also instills a profound appreciation for Japan's rich cultural heritage.
