| Shoji Aoki, the shakuhachi player, adapted the European music scores to the Japanese scales for himself and for his wife, Maiko, the koto player. |
| And then 30 maiko and geiko take to the stage in a flourish of multi-coloured kimonos for the annual Miyakoodori, the dance of the old capital. |
| Co-sponsored by the Roskilde Festival and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Zed Me Free's all star line-up also featured Maiko Zulu, Danny Kaya, John Chiti, Afunika, and B Flow. |
| The dancing-girl and the singing-girl correspond to the geisha and maiko of Japan. |
| And if you like, you can enjoy riding on a jinrikisha or putting on a kimono and making up like a maiko at shops like Shiki. |
| What a crowd, from geisha and maiko to grandmas and and grandpas, tourists and romantic couples, the young women dressed in kimono finery. |
