Portrait of Geiko Kowaka 小若 from Kisarazu from 2021. Not much is known about the Hanamachi in Kisarazu. Kowaka is a Geiko since 2011 latest. In 2016, Wakaba 若葉 debuted and in 2017, 10 Geiko worked in the city. As you can see in this picture, Kowaka wears an obidome, which is quite unusual for modern Geiko! Outside of Kisarazu, I've only seen Akita and Mukojima Geiko do this, albeit only in few cases.
