Today in Miyagawacho: Misedashi of Maiko Fukunori from the Shigemori Okiya!
Fukunori has been around as a Shikomi for a long time, and here she finally is! That’s not really surprising though, Shigemori tends to keep their girls as Shikomi for around a year.
She is the first Maiko to debut from Shigemori in 3 years and 1 months, which has been a bit surprising to many, since Shigemori is quite a large and wealthy okiya, which used to have at least one Misedashi a year. However, slower periods are completely normal in the karyukai, and it seems to be looking up for Shigemori on that front, as they have at least two Shikomi who have been around for a longer time now.
Fukunori is the imouto of Shigemori’s most senior Geiko Fukuhiro, who had her Erikae over 7 years ago and has a lot of experience as an onee-san; Fukunori will already be her 5th imouto!
There is not much too say about Fukunori yet, as with most Maiko just starting out, other than that she has a pretty unique face that, in my opinion, will be quite easy to remember.
Congratulations on your Misedashi Fukunori, and all the best wishes for your career!
