Memories: Shigyoshiki in Kyoto Kaburenjo (2023)

Last month month Kyoto Kagai sim hosted Shigyoshiki - annual traditional ceremony, that marks the start of another business year in the Karyukai. Geiko and Maiko of Hanafusa and Komayaka okiya gathered at Miyagawacho Kaburenjo theater, wearing most formal black kimono called Kuromontsuki and renewed their vows for the new year. This is one of the few occasions when patrons and guests can see all of Kagai members gathered together wearing full regalia.

After the vows were pledged and awards were given, maiko and geiko offered sake and, specially prepared for this event, osechi (traditional Japanese New Year foods).

A new year, a new beginning, an empty sheet of paper where you can write anything you wish for. We hope that 2023 will bring You, Your family and friends many delightful days, filled with joy and happiness. With gratitude in our hearts, we sincerely thank you for your support and humbly hope that You will continue to support us in the future "Yoroshiku otaomoshimasu"
