Maiko in Kyoto Pop Up Japanese Birthday Card
舞妓の袖、春風に揺れる。 Maiko no sode, harukaze ni yureru. The sleeves of the maiko sway in the spring breeze. ✦ The Maiko of Kyoto — 舞妓 (Maiko) In the ancient streets of Kyoto, the maiko — apprentice geisha — are among Japan's most iconic and graceful figures. Dressed in elaborate kimono with long trailing sleeves, their presence is a living connection to centuries of Japanese artistic tradition. To send a maiko card is to send a piece of Kyoto itself. This Maiko in Kyoto Pop Up Japanese Birthday Card captures that magic beautifully. The front shows a maiko girl in a pale blue kimono on the streets of Kyoto, a majestic temple rising behind her — rendered in elegant black and white Japanese characters that read: "It's your birthday, isn't it?" Open the card and a traditional Japanese room unfolds in 3D — a golden folding screen, shoji panels adorned with cherry blossom, and two maiko girls stepping forward as if to greet you. Happy Birthday is printed in both Japanese and English. A white box on the back is left blank for your own heartfelt message. The card arrives complete with a purple envelope. Note: This card opens in the traditional Japanese way — fold on the right. ✦ A Little Piece of Japan 花は桜木、人は武士。 Hana wa sakuragi, hito wa bushi.
