What is Miko You’ve seen some girls in white robes and red skirts at shrines in Japan. They are called “Miko(巫女)” in Japanese. They used to be like shamans in ancient times, but now they are a kind of assistants of Shinto priests. Of course, they have to learn appropriate behavior in shrines even now.
