Fantastic hikizuri (trailing kimono, probably a maiko's considering the sode-age sleeves tucks and pattern) depicting all-seasons sceneries & festivals.

At the end of February, we held our annual Baikasai - plum blossom viewing and tea ceremony event. Geiko Ayachiyo and maiko Fumikiyo performed the obon style tea ceremony, while maiko Umeyuu and Kimiaki showed off their skills at ryurei style tea ceremony.

February 2021: Aoi-tayuu, of Suehiro okiya, organized a walking tour during Baika-sai, i.e. the Plum Blossom Festival, hosted by the geiko of Kamishichiken at the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. Participants gathered before noon in front of the torii gate and had lunch at the restaurant Sakuraiya. The tour mostly concentrated on exploring the plum orchard as the tea ceremony was canceled to prevent further Covid infections. The tour disbanded in the evening after coffee at a local tea shop.
