    “The gentleman opening the door for the geisha Makiko is an otokoshi, an essential figure in the world of Kyoto’s geiko and maiko. An otokoshi helps maiko and geiko get dressed every day (their obi are too long for the women to tie by themselves), and he also accompanies them on their visits to tea houses during two of the most important days in their careers, their omisedashi (debut as a maiko) and erikae (debut as a geiko). This photo was taken during Makiko’s erikae on February 23, 2009.” (in Any Questions for an Otokoshi or Katsura Maker? by John Paul Foster)
