An Otokoshi of Gion Kobu (not a Kimono Dresser) by John P. Foster
“Last weekend I interviewed Kojima-san, an otokoshi in Gion Kobu pictured here with the geisha Mameharu, about his work with geiko and maiko. I have photographed him several times over the years on the day of a geiko’s erikae, but this year I have had the good fortune to photograph him inside an okiya twice, the first time during Mameharu’s erikae and the second time on one of the last days that the geiko Mamehana ever wore oshiroi and a katsura.”
