I'm Going To Japan

It's not a five-minute-drag-comb-through-hair-job, is it?

Well, I mean, there's so much of it.

Maybe it's my perception, but Japanese in general appear to have very thick hair.....

i am pretty sure the top photo is real hair the bottom photos might be with wigs..maiko do wear wigs for certain dance performances but traditionally don't wear wigs....in fact they get their hair oiled and styled with heat and tied in elaborate ways...it usually lasts for about a week....

in fact maikos sleep on a special pillow so their hair doesn't get messed up while their sleeping

example:

more kimonos

there are hairstylists who only do geisha and maiko hair...that's their job

Yeah, I remember all that from the Memories of a Geisha book.

And the lines down their back? I remember reading that two lines means one thing, and three means another. I don't remember the details.

Wait, am I off topic? :headscratch:

well aside from the news stories from japan this thread tends to be the default thread re: all things japan, i.e. things that you would or could see if you went to japan."

i haven't been or seen enough pictures of gion to know...but yeah it's probably one of the five districts in kyoto...since most of geisha & maiko are there although there are geisha in tokyo and some other places as well.

Could be useful for a few. http://www.englishok.jp

A listing of service businesses in Japan with basic English communication abilities & English menus. They have coupons too. (Free stuff) Mostly free beer.

do they have kabukicho establishments listed as well?

Not that I know. Mostly bars and restaurants.

hmmmmmmmmmm.....okay....restaurants where you eat sushi off a woman's body...

i'd never do it...unless i was eating daikon-ryori and it was kyoko fukada so i could dip her thick legs in some ponzu.

Probably not. They must have a no gaijin sing at the door. Anyway, Kyoko would surely eat the whole buffet before you get a chance to double dip. :sweat:

I'm not quite sure which one is worst. Naked sushi bar or groping train cafe. :beaten:

depends how good or bad looking the sushi no onna is, brutha. :beaten:

Good point. Although food and body hair... :bleh:


I made a typo and ended up searching for Ryoko Fukada, instead of Kyoko Fukada. According to google, she seems to be working in this kind of restaurants. :sweat:

agreed....i don't want to eat an hamachi no hair-nude...but if it was ayumi hamasaki you wouldn't have to worry...you'd be eating off of plastic.....furthermore, she can probably store about 46 pieces of sushi in each eyesocket.
