“Obake” is like Japanese Halloween and its part of Setsubun celebrations. This custom is now confined mainly to the hanamachi (geisha districts), where maiko but most often geiko go from tea house to tea house and perform a skit while dressed in outrageous costumes (not only as historical figures but even as disney princesses!). One of the rules of Obake is that things are topsy-turvey - old dress as young, men dress and women and vice-versa.
We welcome you to join celebrations at Hanahusa ochaya this Saturday :)
