Big news!

 Dear guests and readers of my blog,

I am happy to announce that Maiko Kikuyae of Hanafusa okiya has stepped into her second year as a Maiko san. This means from now on she will paint both lips, her eri (collar) and will have more white embroidery. Her hanakanzashi will also change!

And of course, with new rank comes new responsibilities, but let us all wish her look as the hardest year is behind. Omedetou san dosu!
