February 24th, 2026: A new maiko has made her debut in the karyukai today! Mameshizu (豆しず) of Dainui (大ヌイ) in Gion Kobu is celebrating her misedashi! She is the second debut from the newly re-opened Dainui okiya and, like her okiya onesan Mamekiyo, is the imōto of the great Mamehiro (豆弘) of Ninben (亻). In a nod to her naming line's roots, she is wearing an eri and obi that once belonged to Shibata (柴田), the okiya that Mamehiro debuted from! Her outfit features shōchikubai, lucky treasures, and kusudama with a gosho guruma obi ^^ おめでとうさんどす豆しずちゃん ^o^! Image is courtesy of My Kyoto Photo.
