Maiko
is an apprentice ''geiko'' (not exactly same as geisha) in Kyoto, western Japan. Their jobs consist of performing songs, dances, and playing the ''shamisen'' or the ''koto'' (traditional Japanese instruments) for visitors during feasts. Maiko are usually aged 15 to 20 years old and become geiko after learning how to dance the traditional kyomai dances, play the ''shamisen'', and learning ''Kyō-kotoba'' (dialect of Kyoto), regardless of their origins.
==Origin==
Maiko originated from women who served green tea and ''dango'' (Japanese dumpling made from rice flour) to people who visited the ''Kitano Tenman-gū'' or ''Yasaka Shrine'' (these are the two of the famous shrines in Kyoto) at teahouses in the temple town about 300 years ago.
At first, women served only green tea and dango, but they gradually started to perform songs and dances for visitors.
