Happy New Year everyone! The karyukai will be pretty quiet for the next week as we await Shigyōshiki, so look forward to more updates around here to compensate!
Karyukai News
-It seems as though Momika (もみ香) of Yamaguchi (やまぐち) in Pontocho’s misedashi has been pushed into January, so right now we’re looking forward to three misedashi this month: Momika’s and the two Tama minarai in Gion Kobu.
-There have been rumors surrounding the names of the Tama minarai, but I won’t post them here until I have more confirmation. I do know that they will both be of the -Ha line though ^^

-The Random Fact of The Week looked at Pontocho’s pre-erikae hairstyles.
-Mylo’s Pick of The Week focused on Koeri (小衿) of Hiroshimaya (廣島屋) in Gion Kobu.
-You’ve sent me so many varied and insightful questions again this week! I’m happy that you’re all so engaged with this blog and I think I learn as much from your questions as you learn from me. Thank you everyone!
-For people who may not be aware: when I post about the questions sent in during the past week I include links to all of the questions into each thank you sentence. Sometimes I get the number of words correct, other times I need to write more, and often times I add extra because I wanted to finish a thought. I just wanted you all to know that this feature exists as mobile and some PC users can’t see the underlines that are usually displayed on the desktop version to indicate that a word has a link associated with it.
