Oirangeisha’s high hopes for the 2018 girls.

I told you my opinion and my hopes on my new favorite girls who have had their misedashi this year. It’s not very objective because I don’t speak about some of them. Also this is just a quick opinion nothing too serious I don’t claim to know those girls.

1/Mizuno from Fukushima okiya (GK) and debuted march 4th 2018. I really enjoyed seeing Mizuno blossom this year and with such a good onesan as Fumino I think this girl is well set for a sucessful career! She does have a lovely look which make me wait for her pictures always! (Source)

2/Mameyo of Arai okiya (GK) debuted march 7th 2018. I’m reeeally into her ! Her okiya is know to recruit talented dancer and she surely is one of them! And with Mameroku as onesan (which im glad she have the opportunity to have that role) Mameyo can only progress! (Source)

3/Kanochiyo (l) and Kanohisa (r) from Kanoya okiya (GH) debuted october 4th 2018. Im always hyped for new Gion Higashi’s girls and those two look adorable! I wish them the best of luck and im sure they will shine! (Source)

4/Ichigiku from the Ichi okiya (K) debuted october 24th 2018. I love to see new face at Ichi okiya ! And having such a prestigious onesan as Umegiku could only serve this lovely young lady! And what a lovely face im looking forward to see her progress! (Source)

5/Ichisumi from Yamaguchi okiya (P) debuted january 8th 2018. She is the imouto of Ichisayo who is a geiko that i love! So i can only root for the little sister you know! And she does have a lovely “pontocho like” silhouette and look! (Source)

Someone asked the other day whether Marika/Tsurui’s kanzashi is the same as the one owned by Mameroku/Arai, so here’s images of both girls wearing their chōchin and sakura kanzashi. Although they do look similar and are based on the same design, the biggest differences are: -Mameroku/Arai’s sakura curls underneath the chōchin. Marika/Tsurui’s stops before the bottom of the lantern. -Marika/Tsurui’s has very large white tsunagi dango while Mameroku/Arai’s does not. -Mameroku/Arai’s has a small tassel at the bottom of the chōchin where Marika/Tsurui’s does not.  I hope that this can clear some things up! If you ever want me to do more visual comparisons or take an in-depth look at anything then feel free to request them at any time ^^ The image of Mameroku is courtesy of Sonjamagic on Instagram and the image of Marika is courtesy of Love_Justine on Twitter.

January 2019: Sisters Geiko Mameroku and Maiko Mameyo (Arai Okiya) of Gion Kobu leaving an ochaya during Hatsuyori.

Hatsuyori takes place every 13th of January in Gion Kobu, and is a formal new year’s greeting. All Maiko and Geiko wear iromontsuki, formal, colorful kimono with three crests (as opposed to kuromontsuki, black kimono with five crests) and give their thanks to their local okiya and ochaya, and also the head of their dance school, Yachiyo Inoue V.
