EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Gavin Hellier, we are transported to the enchanting streets of the Gion district in Kyoto, Japan. A young Maiko, an apprentice geisha, gracefully walks along the road wearing a traditional Japanese kimono and elevated okobo shoes. Her vibrant attire reflects the rich heritage and cultural traditions of Japan. With a warm smile adorning her face, she exudes both elegance and confidence as she navigates through the bustling cityscape. The security of her surroundings is evident as pedestrians pass by without disrupting her graceful movement. The image beautifully portrays not only fashion and style but also friendship and family ties. Walking alongside her is another Maiko, possibly a sister or close friend, showcasing their strong bond within this unique lifestyle. As they cross paths with a zebra crossing in front of them, tradition meets modernity in perfect harmony. The decorative charm of their kimonos adds color to the scene while symbolizing centuries-old customs that have stood the test of time. This photograph captures not just two individuals but also represents a larger narrative about Japanese culture and its enduring allure. It invites us to explore East Asia's fascinating travel destinations while celebrating the beauty found within different customs and traditions across our diverse world.
