Christmas preparations in Hanafusa okiya

There is something special and sacred about these evening family gatherings...
Outside it's snowing, cold winter wind makes you want to stay in bed all the time...
And you go into the living room where your sisters have already gathered...
There is something about the warmth you share with them, on those cold winter days,
Sugary cookies and sweet cacao drinks, the scent of mandarin oranges and cinnamon....
I wouldn't trade those evenings for the world...
Hanafusa Geiko and Maiko gather inside their okiya to decorate Christmas tree
