Momotaro Dancing 1910s por Blue Ruin 1 Por Flickr: Maiko (apprentice geisha) Momotarō dancing in a darkened studio. "Momotaro san was indeed very pretty in person, but in photographs she was a shashin-bijin (photogenic beauty). Even when bromide postcards were being sold, customers would say, oh who is this cute girl? I will buy one. That shows how very beautiful she was. In her latter years, she worked as a nakai (server) at a ryotei (a luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant)." Gion Yoi-banashi by Haruyu Hayasaki

Inoue School of Dance 1910s por Blue Ruin 1 Via Flickr: Maiko (apprentice geisha) Momotarō with two mai-ōgi or dancing fans. The diamond-shaped lozenge on the fans is the kamon or family crest of Inoue Yachiyo, the head of the Inoue School of dance. The distinctive design near the handle is an indication of the rank of the performer, three layers for a maiko (apprentice geisha), five layers for a geiko (geisha), and seven layers for a senior geiko who has mastered the dance style. The colour of the stripes between the layers changes from red to purple depending on seniority, while an all white fan is a practice fan.
