Maiko Kikuyae is now a Senior Maiko!

🌸 Congratulations to Maiko Kikuyae of Hanafusa Okiya! 🌸

A heartfelt congratulations to Maiko Kikuyae of Hanafusa Okiya for reaching an exciting milestone—becoming a Senior Maiko! This marks a beautiful step forward in her journey.

From now on, Kikuyae’s hair will be styled in the elegant Ofuku hairstyle, a sign of her new status. The intricate details of her eri, or collar, will also change, featuring white embroidery in the front, with only the red part visible at the back—an exquisite touch that symbolizes her growth and transformation in the world of Maiko.

This is a significant moment in her career, and we can’t wait to see the grace and artistry she continues to bring to her performances as she embraces this new phase of her journey. Wishing her all the best as she steps into this next chapter of elegance and beauty. 🌸✨
