December 14th, 2023: Double congratulations are in order! Fukusono (ふく苑) of Shigemori (しげ森) and Toshinagi (とし菜希) of Komaya (駒屋) in Miyagawa Cho are celebrating their joint erikae! Both women have been working hard towards this day under the tutelage of their onesan, Fukuchō (ふく兆) and Toshikana (とし夏菜). This is Fukuchō's first imōto to have her erikae and Toshikana's third! Fukusono's outfit features blue and white plum blossoms along a yellow stream paired with a gold obi of wisteria and karabana while Toshinagi's outfit features golden waves and lucky treasures with a gold obi of pine ^^! おめでとうさんどすふく苑さんととし菜希さん ^o^!

9th of May 2019: Misedashi of Maiko Fukusono from the Shigemori Okiya of Miyagawacho!

Maiko Fukusono is one of the first two Maiko to debut in the new Reiwa Era, alongside Maiko Mameaya of Gion Kobu. Fukusono’s Misedashi was actually postponed by Shigemori’s okaasan, so that Fukusono wouldn’t be the last Maiko to debut in the Heisei Era, but the first Maiko to debut in the Reiwa Era. What a nice sentiment!

Fukusono is the second Maiko to debut from Shigemori this year, her older sister Fukunori debuted in February. They had no new debuts since Koen in January of 2016, so this year is already looking great for them! Fukusono is also the first imouto of Shigemori’s youngest Geiko, Fukuchō (second picture)! Before that, Fukuhiro or Kofuku always played the role of onee-san, but now there is one more young Geiko to take that role.

Fukusono is very cute and makes a great pair with her sisters Fukunori, who has a similar cute look. Fukusono actually reminds me a bit of Geiko Tomitsuyu of Gion Higashi on her early years, so it’s going to be interesting to see how she progresses!

Congratulations on your debut Fukusono, and all the best wishes for your career!

May 9th, 2019: Congratulations to the first maiko to debut during the new Reiwa Period! In Gion Kobu we have Mameaya (まめ彩) of Ninben (亻) and in Miyagawa Cho we have Fukusono (ふく苑) of Shigemori (しげ森)! They say it takes a village the raise a child, and this couldn’t be more true for these two girls! In the top image we can see Mameaya surrounded by the maiko and geiko who are affiliated with the Ninben and Shibata families, including (from L to R): Back: Mamewaka (豆わか), Mameka (豆花), Mamehiro (豆弘), the okasan of her okiya, Mameya (まめ弥), her official onesan, Mameryō (豆涼), and Emino (恵美乃). Front: Mamesumi (豆純), Mameyui (豆結), Mamesaya (豆沙弥), Mametama (豆珠), and Mamemaru (豆まる). Mamesumi just switched to the sakkō style today ahead of her May 30th erikae, so it’s an extra festive time for Ninben! I’ll hopefully be uploading a few more pictures of Mameaya’s misedashi later, so please look forward to them ^^ In Fukusono’s case we have a lovely family portrait that shows a second momentous occasion for the Shigemori okiya: geiko Fukuchō (ふく兆) taking on her first imōto! This makes Fukusono the first grand imōto of Fukuhiro (ふく紘) on the right, which shows just how well Shigemori has prospered since the debut of their first maiko (Fukuhiro) back in 2006! おめでとうさんどすまめ彩ちゃんとふく苑ちゃん ^o^!
