This photo taken on May 8, 2025 shows Shinbashi geishas rehearsing under the watchful eyes of instructors before the 100th edition of the Azuma Odori at the Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre in Tokyo. Geishas are a rare sight in modern Japan, but some of the few still working in Tokyo glide with measured steps across a wooden stage, offering a glimpse of a long-misunderstood tradition.
