Kyoto day 5

Bun Raku is puppet theater. Each puppet is controlled by 3 men. You apprentice for at least 10 years before you're good enough to control the head/right hand.

Maiko (apprentice geisha) go to work at 5:00 pm. They have dinner with clients, perform dance, music, etc. One was kind enough to pose for a photo with me.






Free day today, no tours planned. I walked around taking pictures of neighborhoods.
