Dear reader of Hanafusa okiya blog,
As in rl Kyoto Kagai, our sim as well as it's maiko and geiko members, take part in Gion Matsuri celebrations. Every year after the Hanagasa Junko parade, Maiko san from Miyagawacho perform a dance called Konchiki ondo. The name of the dance comes from distinctive Konchiki chain of Gion Bayashi folk music. They wore special white thin kimono with hakata obi (obi sash with hakata-ori textile) which was pink against a white background in Ushiromi musubi (a way of knotting the obi sash) style. In their hands they hold an uchiwa fan with crests of the Gion festival and the Yasaka shrine.
This year Maiko Kikushino was spotted wearing Yakko Shimada for the first time. This hairtyle is reserved for the senior maiko but in Miyagawacho, when a girl is close to her mizuage she can get a special permission to start switching to more senior kimono and hanakanzashi. Her main hairstyle will remain Warshinobu until after the mizuage.
After the dance, guests were able to make memorable photos with members from Hanafusa okiya.
