Description
A Maiko is an apprentice geisha in Kyoto and Western Japan, where her hard work does not only include serving drinks, but also entertaining guests with Japanese traditional performances, such as dances and shamisen playing. The charms of Maiko are a beautiful dance, serving guests with the mindset of superior hospitality, always being elegant and splendid, as well as creating the “dream world detached from the daily life” for a little while. Maiko are known by other terms in areas close to Toyko such as “half jewel”, referring to one euphemistic term for a geisha’s wages, “jewel money”. Preserving that inspiration, this ceramic money is a tribute to the hard training time and the perseverance of all women of hospitality to perceive their kind life mission. The shape is available in two different versions: plain white earthenware or hand painted with ceramic underglazes and covered with transparent cristallyne.
