Kotohajime (事始め) is an annual event during which Maiko san and Geiko visit their teachers to express gratitude, exchange gifts and ask for support in the upcoming year. During Kotohajime, shikomi, minarai, maiko and geiko also receive new dance fans, that will be used in the upcoming year.
At Kyoto Kagai sim, Kotohajime took place on 12th of December in the Nyokoba school. Though it is a closed event, we would like to share a few photos :)
