御輿：浅草 by ＊Kota_Dad＊ on Flickr.

Every year on January 13th, maiko and geiko of Gion Kobu gather at their dance master’s house (Inoue Yachiyo) to celebrate New Year and exchange best wishes. They are dressed in the most colorful and elegant outfits.

The Baroque style of architecture characteristic of Versailles Palace impresses people by its luxury, with colossal murals, rows of monumental statues, and an immense collection of fine furniture inside the palace. The stunning geometric design of the garden and the great fountain outside in the yard. The scale and style of the place shows the world without doubt about the power, the glory, and the wealth of the French monarchy in that period of French history. Mark Twain said of it, “You gaze, and stare, and try to understand that it is real, that it is on the earth, that it is not the Garden of Eden…” (x)
