Weekend Update 11/9
I was a bit worn out last night, so I decided to save this until today. Karyukai News -The Sakaemasa minarai’s name is Ryōma (涼真) and she is the imōto of Ryōka (涼香). Her misedashi will be on September 20th. -Shikomi Chiaki (千晶) of Umeno (梅乃) did her nihongami test, which means that she has passed her maiko test. Her misedashi is expected before the end of the year. -Tomitsuyu (富津愈) of Tomikiku (富菊) in Gion Higashi is now tying her obiage! -Somehow the news of Naosome (尚そめ) of Nakasato (中里) in Kamishichiken leaving back in April was overlooked until now. Blog News -The Random Fact of The Week looked at the multiple meanings of Tsuyu (つゆ). -Mylo’s Pick of The Week went to Umehina (梅ひな) of Umeno (梅乃) in Kamishichiken. -The deban for both Mizuekai (みずゑ会) and Kotobukikai (寿会) were transcribed. -A new tab called The 2017 Calendar has been added. It’s meant to track the misedashi, erikae, and retirements that have occurred in 2017 so that people can see this information without having to constantly ask about it. -Thank you to everyone who sent in so, so many questions this week! I hope that I can continue to answer your questions as best as I can going forward ^^
Sad news for Kamishichiken
Geiko Naosome of Nakazato okiya retired this April after the Kitano Odori to become a sommelier. I hope she’s happy with her new career, but I’m sorry to see her go.
