Two pages from (Tokyo) Otsuka Odori 1957, with participants: Temari 手まり, Tomoyakko 友奴, Fukumaru 福丸, Emiko 恵美子, Chôchô 蝶々, Okaru おかる, Jirô 二郎, Yaegiku 八重菊, Satoko 左斗子, Chiharu ちはる and Sayoko 小夜子. Otsuka has always been one of the smaller Hanamachi since its establishment in 1919. It is said that at its peak in the early Showa era, 700 Geisha called Otsuka their home. Apparently, this number dropped drastically even before 1945 - according to Wikipedia, Otsuka had 260 Geisha in 1931. 150 Geisha in 1965, 50 in 1977, around 10 in 2008, three in 2018. As of 2023, one Geisha remains in Otsuka.
