      Staring into a full-length mirror as the kimono is wrapped and tucked around her, Komomo -- who is barely 150 cm (4 ft 11 in) tall -- whips thin silk cords down from where they're draped over another mirror. She hands some to the dresser and ties some around her middle herself.

      Komomo, a geiko (geisha), looks at herself in the mirror at home while a dresser helps her get ready to go to evening appointments in the Miyagawa district of Kyoto, Japan. Kichi, her dresser, holds the shoulders of the kimono to line them up properly, then pulls down the collar to reveal the nape of her neck, traditionally thought sexy in Japan. A dark red sash follows, then a pad tied in place over her stomach.
