Waited a long time after Mametomi and had finally given up on seeing more geishas. These two entered just as I was leaving Gion. The one without makeup is a senior geiko (geisha in Kyoto dialect) named Mamehiro. I've since learned that geikos wear less makeup and accessories as they being more skilled.
