Japanese Geisha in 1900 | AI Enhanced Film 60 fps

Possibly the earliest motion picture footage of Japanese Geisha and Maiko. Filmed in the Meiji era, circa 1900. While many Japanese women still wore the traditional Kimono, Obi and the Furisode, these women are definitely entertainers. The dangling Kansanshi on the sides of their hairstyles. The decorative Sakura blossoms. Also the demonstration of traditional Japanese dancing to the accompaniment of two Shamisen players. All key components in the art of the Geisha apprentice. The location is hard to say, but it may be Kyoto. The Geisha or Geiko apprentice was referred to as Maiko in Kyoto, and as Hangyoku in Tokyo. Geisha and Maiko often applied white oshiroi makeup for certain occasions, but not necessarily on a daily basis. The Meiji era saw a gradual opening up of Japan to the west. It was the beginning of the modernization of Japan, and the introduction of western influences of consumerism, western fashion etc. AI Restoration Process: 1. DeNoise and removed artifacts.
