Maiko (apprentice geisha) Katsufumi at the Hanagasa Junko Procession, part of the month long Gion Matsuri (Festival).
I would love to travel to Japan to see one of these festivals. The costumes are elaborate and highly detailed, often costing several thousands of dollars. Geisha often wear costumes of historical figures, and representative of certain eras (like the Heian era.)
