Hina Matsuri in Hanahusa ochaya

Dear patrons of Kyoto Kagai sim,

Thank you for celebrating Hina Matsuri with us. We look forward to seeing You later this month during annual Higashiyama hanatoro, that will take place on March 10th and let us not forget weekly events such as ozashiki, museum events and story nights.

For those who wanted but couldn't participate, i'll give a small report. The celebrations took place in Hanahusa ochaya in Miyagawacho hanamachi of Kyoto Kagai sim. Guests were welcomed by Maiko of Hanafusa okiya together with magnificent displays of Hina dolls, that belong to okiya. Yes, there were several types and special kokeshi Hina dolls display that are quite rare.

For Minarai Kikushino, it was first Hina Matsuri in their profession so this celebrations was very special.
After the sweets were served and tea was drunk, Maiko Kikumaru entertained the guests with stories and, as we had several guests who came for the first time, explaining the Hina Matsuri and when guests had questions Maiko Kikune helped to answer.
As part of Hina Matsuri celebrations, Maiko san accompanied guests towards the Yasaka Jinja shrine where everyone could take a photo with a favored Maiko san ^_^

After Hina Matsuri maiko san accompanied guests to Yasaka Jinja shrine to pray for good health of girls and women
