Points of Interest

The Miyako Odori (都をどり) is one of the four great spring shows in the five geisha districts of Kyoto, Japan. The dances, songs, and theater productions presented in the framework of the Miyako Odori are performed by the maiko and geisha of the Gion quarter. The motifs draw from classical Japanese culture and incorporate everyday life as well as folkloristic elements, for example from the Tale of Genji. — Wikipedia
