Comments
I don't think so: The first time I watched this I got chills; this lady's voice is really soothing. xD This is really cool. :]
jewelz2k5: This is elegant hair artistry at its best! Much respect!
OR0R0: back in the day, i'd have just wore my hair down as a geisha. this takes a while
Chasatani: As an SCAdian who does Japanese recreation I would die to have one of this man's pieces.
Roberta1979: This is real art! Amazing! Formerly geisha wigs but did not use styling their hair, they take hours, supporting his neck and slept on small wooden supports. I love the Japanese tradition! Ps. Excuse my English but I'm Italian and I am in the process of learning English, I hope I have not made too many mistakes :-)
twigirlkk: @slobomotion My great uncle had a friend who lived over in Japan. His sister, my greatgrandmother, asked one of his friends to bring her a doll. He brought over a geisha doll from Japan, porcelain. He carried it all the way on the plane, in his lap, and gave it to her directly. Since her passing, now it sits on top of my china. Very beautiful, one of my most prized possesions!
alestane: Actually, it depends on the time period and the district. The mizuage custom did exist in the way Golden describes it. Or at least that's what I read in biographies of two different geisha. It doesn't anymore, that's for sure. And even when and where it did exist, there were still big differences between real prostitutes and geisha. Life is not black and white...
t: Wow, me too! I think it would be so cool to be able to visit Japan
AeliaEudoxia: @contortionist104 That is correct, for the most part. The strain of the hair style can cause bald patches that need to be covered up. However, the wigs made here are for kabuki stage actors, not maiko or geisha. This one is for (as the video says) the character of an Edo period female. It is intended for an actor, but preserves the hairstyles of the later Edo period.
Sean Ian Jacobson: Wow, such an art.
kmah88: i wish someone could do my hair like this!
slobomotion: As a little girl in Ohio, I begged my mother to buy me a real Japanese geisha doll with wigs. It cost 3.50 and she explained this was nearly a day's pay but I did get the doll and still have it. It is still in its box and I will sell it. It is nearly perfect and the head seems to be of some very fragile porcelain. The box lid explains the wigs and what their uses were in ceremonies. I am in France. Good video, uprated. The doll was bought in the 1960s.
Fox Grove NYC: As hair dresser, when you have textured and thick hair like many non-caucasian ethnicities do... It's best to not wash the hair for health and ability to style for up to three weeks. Even some caucasian beauty pageant girls do this. It's more healthy when you have coarse and textured hair, but not so for people with fine thin hair. It's because most modern shampoo contains chemicals that deprive the hair of naturally nourishing oils that make hair healthy and easy to style. Just FYI ;-)
Renbirde: @NeckoChibi -- The geisha used to have this done on their own hair, so yes, it's possible. I'm not sure how long your hair would have do be, though; After she became a full geisha, a woman would never cut her hair. I'd say try it. Remember to use pads (they're called "hair rats" in English, they're easy to make) to get the volume at the back and side. And choose your pomade carefuly. IIRC the geisha used a specific blend of wax and oil...
Naiils: Such a shame that I can't get him to make one for me! My husband calls me his 'blonde geisha' - classy, intelligent, beautiful & feminine. At NO time has the Reference been made at a sexual level.
samsaras: wow, it is an intricate process! I like it!
Risha2511: Wow that's amazing.
OR0R0: i need to go to him so he could do my hair.
Ambertiera Ebony: Beautiful!
SunaoTsuji: Maiko are Geisha-In-Training. Thus the lower lip is painted. Once a Maiko has completed her training (don't remember exactly how many it would be) she goes through a graduation ceremony into a Geisha. As a full fledged Geisha she paints both her upper and lower lips. There's so much more into understanding the Geisha world and doing plenty of research will help to understand them better. There are youtube videos you can watch about the Geisha as well as documentaries you can find through google.
XianKai: Awesome skill.
Oscitant Otter: No. Hair would be styled once, and they didn't take it down for about a week, sometimes more. They had wooden, shaped 'pillows' that would hold their hair and keep it from becoming mussed. Hair would be washed once a week or less, and was greased and carefully stacked so it would not need redoing. Geisha in the profession would only get their hair done when they had appointments, and would not do so every morning unless they had to.
IshtarBellydancer: How very interesting - such a skilled artist... Maybe I will try it out on a wig :)
Andre28: It's beautiful! 0.0
l. estevan: SOOO PRETTY
Emma D: I would’ve been known as the laziest geisha ever, I would for real be walking around with my hair down all the time.
Burak Obama: That looks really nice.
Cavalier: Why oh why have these been lost to the modern day world? They're like shining ebony sculptures bursting with swirls and beads and wisterias!
AideTsukino: The Word "Geisha" and the word "Geiko" are not the same. Maiko and Geiko are the 2 types of Geisha.
ScissorBoy: AWESOME Video, thanks for sharing.
slobomotion: @twigirlkk I bet they'd both be really happy you still treasure it! I was just fascinated by it as a girl and played with it only very, very gently.
pbul7306: I DIDNT REALIZE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE TOUGH ECONOMY COULD STILL AFFORD TO HANG WIT GEISHA
Shelley Vuong: beautiful hair
Anne-Marie Marchal: quel travail de patience!
Fox Grove NYC: I never meant to say all Asians have the same hair type. There's a lot of different variety of ethnic groups that are called Asian. It would like me saying that all Caucasian hair is fine, thin and straight... While many fully Caucasian people have hair that is fine, thin and straight, there are certainly some who don't.
alestane: It's a bit more complex than that, and depends a lot on the city, the district, the time period you're considering. But yes, they were not prostitutes, and certainly are not nowadays.
Leslie Mei: I read the Memoirs of a Geisha...? :D It's more detailed than the movie, but you're right, it's not the most accurate.
mymlan: really interesting ^^
Toxxdf: oh yeah I didn't really listen but I thought it was japanese cuz it was cute x)
heavenlyeve: you should just be happy with the hair that you have. i'm sure asian girls wished they had a different kind of hair as well.
StillNoUseForAName: aaah, not exactly right: Maiko "wear" their own hair, Geiko (or more common Geisha) wear wigs. ^^
Lemonnyx: I liked it back in the old fashion way how the women didnt have to wear wigs!
NeckoChibi: What do you think? Would it be possible for this hair style to be done on very long hair? I have like 90 cm long hair... :DDDD
asininityy: I agree that it looks awkward, probably because they need to recreate a hairline. Nonetheless, the wigs are very beautiful (:
AGirl&HerBike: they make wigs now instead... actual geisha hair makes you go bald in certain areas... so most of the complex styles are wigs... also used in theater...
ShortPotato: Wow!
Jasmin Lyn: @chrmedbabygirl No they did not. And even if they did to some degree, they still should have told the difference between Chiyo-- sorry, Sayuri's geisha type and the REAL Geishas. You see, there is a difference. For a true Geisha, the Mizuage is the cellebration of her getting her period. For Sayuri, she was the kind, a lower kind, that sold there virginity. I am sorry, but it is simply NOT the same. Plus, that book WAS terribly cruel and emphasized things in the wronge way.
n2cool: so neat...but complicated~tsutomete.....~
Leslie Mei: Everything I read about geishas in Memoirs of a Geisha was untrue? It was THAT off base? :(
Autumn Beck: I'm a good example of a Caucasian that does not. My hair is thick and curly. =]
Leslie Mei: I did... Oh, OH! Sorry, I really didn't remember... I've got it now. That is certainly a good thing.
Rayna Bown: As to the reference to Memoirs of a Geisha. They did have to proper info. They did their research before filming the movie and the actoresses had to learn how to be Geisha. If you watch the 2nd dvd disc they explain it. And in the movie they even make reference to how geisha are seperate from prostitiutes. And the selling of the virginity is no longer practiced.
CaligirlSofia: geisha hairstyles will make ur hairline to go back and end up losing hair
Knightsoul Luv: man thats alot of hair o_O I have thin naturally curly hair =( sometimes i wish it was straight lol :P
jose luis: what kind of thread is used to tie ponytails
yahhkatiyah: he's probably thinking "AYE AMERICA WHATS GOOD WITH THE FLAT IRON THOU"
Support4MySingers: yeah and there hair was only washed once a week or two weeks so they didn't have to keep having it done. OUCH. And the older Geisha women have bald patches from all the pulling over the years:(
Sara Eastwood: @mangakoibito It's funny that you tell someone they have something mixed up and you have this " big book of Geisha" and yet you say meiko instead of maiko. Um...just sayin'.
Lydia H: Wow.
Reena Lam: back in the days, did every woman do this to their hair every day? I imagine that would be quite time consuming.
MissKatastrophic: Jeeze all the knots and such and women use to do this to their own hair!
Sarah P: thats human hair.
Ishiguro Lemaster: read both books dear :) there are 2 books on this.
Nawal Al Balooshi: its not easy :S
Fox Grove NYC: Yes you should use conditioner. Asian hair is thick and textured, but it's not like other non-caucasian hair types, in that it's not hard to style when you first wash it because usually it does not curl. I would say was it with a mild shampoo (From an organic health store) free of the chemicals sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, amonium laurly sulfate, and amonianum laureth sulfate. These chemicals are very harsh. Wash once to twice a week and condition.
lee010194: wow. dude. im asian, should i use conditioner?
Renee Cbc: Maybe you should read the book first. I know you didn't because it said most of that stuff in the book. Of course the movie was not accurate, it wasn't meant to be a documentary!
Calucifer13: This must be terribly heavy!
fynnfish: yes,thats true^^
DeadlyChinchilla: Studying the history, it seems some prostitutes pretended to be geisha, and yes, some geisha took sponsers or sold their virginity. But this does not make geisha prostitutes, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong. ^_^
Rayna Bown: @KaiPendragon You are the one who was judging me for my opinion not the other way around. And if you dont like the stereotypes that move somewhere else. Because no matter where you live you are going to find things you dont like about the area and culture. So my voicing my opinion was wrong in your opinion and apparently only you and willy are aloud to say or post their views according to you. Very nice.
Rayna Bown: @KaiPendragon You would get that no matter where you go in this world. And it must be nice to be so uppity that maybe you could take the time to help them learn instead of stereotyping them like you say everyone else is doing. So get of your almighty high horse and do something to change it instead of bad mouthing the country that has treated you and yours so well and gave you all the freedoms that you have now.
herelies: stop hating-why don't you give up all your hair?
saphiredewdrop: @naiils beautiful. :) mm..any secrets? please share. :D
Erin: @chrmedbabygirl are you from the us? because seriously, the way YOU'RE behaving, is like that type of 'stereotype american'.. but whatever, everyone can voice their opinions..
Matyme: It's either real hair or horse hair...idk
69irene: ...am i the only one who cant hear japanese engish
yahhkatiyah: well i am.... so it's okay.
Ichabod1880: @Kkyyrruu This is not a tutorial.
Cavalier: @flippincam Err, no. I believe Japanese women naturally have black hair, not white. Unless, you know, we're in the Twilight Zone, again.
บุดสา วันหัด: คิวเพรส
roxasgirl1992: i think horse because the women said edo hair edo=horse?
FuturisticXXL: edo don't mean horse lol
Leslie Mei: Mizuage?
Ronan: um, that's english...
Ishiguro Lemaster: Geisha or Geiko is Adult artist, Maiko is young artist. Geisha are not prostitutes, there is a form of them who dont dress up with make up that were sold to the pleasure district back in the day in 1940's
Rayna Bown: @WillyyyV Then why the rude comment about Americans? Must have been talking to the wrong people.
Rayna Bown: @KaiPendragon How may Americans have you meet? Are you from the United States? If not then go back behind the rock you came from. And how would you know these things have you ever been here. Like other countries don't stereotype. What do you think you are doing with your comments.
Leslie Mei: Owtch, three thumbs down.
TheMoonlightPixie: Geisha were not and still are not prostitutes. In fact, a geisha was more likely to sleep with only one man in her entire life. Since geisha are nto permitted to marry, they would lose their mizuage to one man and then accept one man's offer to be her danna. If she slept with anyone else besides her danna, she was not a true geisha in the eyes of her people. Danna is as close to marriage as a geisha would get.
Rayna Bown: @WillyyyV Like you are any better
