Hello! I'm Miku Konawa, in charge of makeup and dressing at the Maiko Experience Center GION AYA ♡

This time, I received a question from someone who said, "I'm pregnant. Can I still try it out?"

In response to this question, Konawa, who actually tried being a maiko while pregnant,

This is a blog where I write about what I feel.

A two-way player like the famous baseball player Shohei Otani

The staff member Takazawa Paisen, who is a dual-wielder in both makeup and photography,

It went on my arm and transformed me into a cool looking geisha, perfect for the summer ^^

The makeup process usually takes about 40 minutes.

It was over so quickly that I was totally fine.

Next is dressing. If you are pregnant, this is probably something you are worried about.

Can I still wear a kimono even if I have a big belly? How tight will it be? I'm sure you have a lot of questions.

However, since we have many customers from overseas, we are able to accommodate even larger customers in kimonos.

It is designed to be worn by everyone. The tightening is done by giving instructions to each person.

As I was putting on the kimono, they made sure it was just the right size.

And then add a wig and you're done!

Once you're ready, the next step is to take photos. Depending on the plan, the time you spend wearing the kimono may vary.

This may vary, but each photoshoot will take approximately 20 minutes!

Some poses may seem difficult to you, so

Don't push yourself too hard, just ask the staff for advice ♡ Here are some poses that I found difficult

This full body pose involves turning your body towards the camera and raising your hands high,

It was surprisingly difficult to bend my body when my belly was protruding.

Even when doing this ``Come on'' pose, my stomach gets in the way and I can't lean forward as much as I'd like.

I didn't take this pose, so I used a customer's photo...

But I guess that's about the extent to which it felt difficult?

I was able to do poses like holding small items or sitting on a chair.

I also got to take some new and innovative poses ^^

Of course, there may be times when your health suddenly deteriorates.

In that case, please feel free to ask the staff.

I think what makes people feel tired is different for each person,
