May 30th, 2026: Double the delight in Gion Kobu! Asuha (明日葉) of Tama (多麻) and Hisano (寿乃) of Fukushima (福嶋) are celebrating their erikae! Both girls have worked so hard to get to this point and it's great to see them finally wearing their katsura! Both are also a first: Asuha is the first (and only) imōto of Eriha (恵里葉), also of Tama, to have her erikae while Hisano is the first (and only) imōto of Fumino (章乃), also of Fukushima, to have her erikae as well! Hisano, unfortunately, will be the only imōto of Fumino's to have her erikae as Fumino retired last year. Asuha is wearing the same outfit that her okasan Tamakazu wore for her erikae, which is pine, waves, and genjikō with a golden crane obi while Hisano is wearing a pine, waves, and haze outfit with a golden paper butterfly obi ^^ おめでとうさんどす明日葉さんと寿乃さん ^o^!
