The maiko of Gion Higashi, in order of rank: Masayo, Tsunemomo, Umeha, Kanoaki, Miharu.
A priest summons the maiko of Gion Higashi (one of Kyoto's five hanamachi, or geiko entertainment districts) to the stage of Yasaka Shrine to be blessed before the mamemaki (bean-throwing) ceremony.
Before the mamemaki ceremony, Gion's Taiko group takes the stage. 
Mission Mamemaki accomplished! The girls make their exit.
The mix of ancient tradition and ultra-modern technology: This is Japan!
