🌿 Ozashiki by the Kamogawa in June 🌿

In the warmth of early summer, an ozashiki was held at a charming tea house with a platform overlooking the Kamogawa River. The gentle breeze and the soothing sound of the flowing water created the perfect atmosphere to relax and refresh.

The evening was made even more special by the graceful performances of Maiko and Geiko from Hanafusa Okiya, whose elegant dances captivated the guests. The combination of tradition, nature, and artistry made this gathering truly unforgettable. 🌸✨

Ozashiki also means Ozashiki Asobi! (Games)
