Kyouka is so lovely and seems to only be growing in her beauty as she matures.

It's not a maiko (because the face isn't painted white). She could be a senior geisha, but then I wouldn't expect her to be in public like that. I'm guessing she's just a woman in a kimono :)
Lovely picture though ;)

She IS a maiko. Her face isn't painted because she is in a casual yukata . Maiko and Geiko do not wear the oshiroi daily.
Her name is Kyouka.

This is beautiful. When paired with your other work its very interesting to look at the idea of beauty, how it can change but stays the same, well depending on context.
