April 8th, 2024: Congratulations to Kyoto's newest maiko on the occasion of her misedashi! Hideshiho (秀しほ) of Masamiya (雅美家) in Pontocho has debuted among the cherry blossoms as Kyoto reaches its peak tourist season! As she is from the newly opened Masamiya okiya she is debuting without an onesan, but with 3 geiko and 6 other maiko to look up to she has plenty of role models around her to help her grow. She will actually be participating in the Kamogawa Odori next month, which runs from May 1st to 24th, so please look out for her! Her outfit features toys and lucky treasures while her obi showcases a lovely pine in shippo pattern ^^
おめでとうさんどす秀しほちゃん ^o^!
