Matsuyama, January 2012 and 2013. On the second photo, you can see Kimichiyo (the Maiko) and her oneesan Chiyoro (middle Geiko).

Matsuyama Geisha in January 2016. It looks to me like the Geisha on the left is the same person as the Maiko they had up until 2013. I will investigate further, but the blog on the “Geisha Matsuyama” page is no longer updated and the ameba blog where I got these pictures from is kinda complicated to browse.

Edit: It’s the same person indeed! Her name is Kimichiyo  貴美千代 and Chiyoro 千代鷺 is her oneesan. In another blog entry, she talks about her Erikae.

The portraits are from here.
