I’m reading a book about Geiko’s.
Fascinating but harsh world. Full of art, culture beauty, and intense loneliness.
At least nowadays it’s a career choice.

It takes a long time and lots of study before you become a Geiko. And 50 year old Geiko’s are still studying and practising dance and music every day. Ultimate perfection is something one will never reach but always strives for.

That is the way of the artist all over the world I suppose, but the world of the Geiko takes it one step further. I admire this dedication to perfection.
