"The mix of old and new, modern and traditional: Kyoto, Japan.
Maiko (apprentice geiko) from the Gion Higashi district heading for the torii, or sacred gate, of Yasaka Shrine.
Ketai is the Japanese word for mobile/ cell phone, which is being used here to take pictures of the maiko. The juxtaposition of ancient tradition and modern sensibilities is part of what makes Japan so interesting."
