It contains detailed, step by step instructions on how their hairstyles are created, how they apply their 'Oshiroi' makeup and even how they put on their kimono and Obi: EVERYTHING! Up until now, this kind of information was almost impossible to find anywhere - much less all in one place…

The first section shows how the hairstyles are created and what is needed. The second shows exactly how their makeup is applied. Next, there is a step by step section on how they put on their Kimono and tie the famous long obi. There is then a section showing various completed hairstyles and ornaments used by the Maiko. Finally, there is a section that shows them 'at work' - dancing at 'Ozashiki' parties and major annual events in Kyoto.

BEST OF ALL: The International zone-free DVD shows the master hairstylist in action, actually creating the hairstyles on Kyoto's Maiko. It also shows exactly how they apply their white, Shiro-Nuri makeup. It is in Japanese but with English subtitles. All the mysteries unveiled in this amazing, Book and DVD combo!
