Maiko hair ornaments
::
Maiko have more ornaments in their hair than geisha do. The hair ornaments differ depending on the current season. They usually have a flower motif, and if you look closely and see what flower it is, you can tell what season it is. The maiko uses her real hair, not a wig. When her hair is down, it reaches her chest.
