April 22nd, 2026: A new geiko is born! Satoha (さと葉) of Nakasato (中里) in Kamishichiken is celebrating her erikae! She is Kamishichiken's first erikae in two years and the first from Nakasato in seven! As an incredibly graceful dancer, her skills are much needed in her small kagai and she will be a great asset as a geiko going forward! Her outfit features shōchikubai with maple leaves, rocks, and a stream with a golden pine obi ^^ おめでとうさんどすさと葉さん ^o^! Image is courtesy of the Kamishichiken Kabukai.

An absolutely lovely photo of geiko Satsuki-san with her very first imouto, Geiko Mitsuki-san on the day of Geiko Mitsuki-san’s erikae! It’s been an absolute pleasure watching these two young women growing together over the past few years. They both compliment each other so well not only in appearance but also in personality! You have bubbly and outgoing Satsuki-san, while Mitsuki-san is more quiet and reserved and I think the both of them have brought the best out in each other in a really incredible way!
