content: The Miyako-odori, or Cherry Blossom Dance, is performed by top geishas and maikos every April in Kyoto. The Miyako-odori, begun in 1872, was meant to alleviate the gloominess and depression following the great capital switch, when Kyoto was replaced by Tokyo as the new capital of Japan. This dance also serves as an opportunity for ordinary people to witness top-class geisha and maiko performances usually reserved for the elite of society.
