The Geisha Umeha of Kamishichiken at Baikasai

The geisha Umeha of Kamishichiken serving tea during Baikasai at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto in 2007. Umeha is the one of the few geiko I would like to photograph at a teahouse but haven't. Unfortunately, Kamishichiken is rather far from Gion Kobu, where I do most of my photography, making it hard to arrange a photo session.
