Konnichiwa dear guests and readers of Hanafusa blog,
On this beautiful day i'm honored to announce the debut of Maiko Kikuteru. She has debuted under the wing of Geiko Kikutsuru. Omedetou san dosu Kikuteru-san on the path you have chosen!
* Misedashi - formal debut of Maiko, literary means "open for business". New maiko is presented to hanamachi and the society. She wears Kuromontsuki(formal, black, crested kimono) with with matching formal golden obi and with the okiya crest on the bottom. No obijime or obidome. During Misedashi maiko wears wareshinobu hairstyle with distinguishable kanzashi: special hair ornaments of tortoiseshell called chirikan, two ougi bira kanzashi( silver, fan-shaped kanzashi with silver flutters hanging by rings). She will also wear miokuri(bands of metal sticking out from the bottom of the bun).
During San san Kudo ceremony, Kikuteru chan was bonded with Geiko and Atatori of Hanafusa okiya, Kikutsuru san by drinking 3 cups 3 times. This most important event was led by Okaasan Kikuyu and witnessed by Geiko Kikumaru, Maiko Kikushino and Maiko Kikuyae.
After the ceremony, Kikutsuru san and Kikuteru san went on greeting rounds with important patrons, where Kikutsuru san was introducing the new maiko.
Misedashi celebrations were held for 2 more days, with more visiting rounds and ozashikis.
