Miyajimacho's most senior maiko, Umeyuu, gave a heartfelt performance of Rokudan kuzushi at this year's Fuji hanamikai! Doesn't she look wonderful among the wisteria branches?
Maiko Umeyuu is now wearing the Osafune hairstyle, in preparation for her becoming a geiko! There's only a short time still to meet her as a maiko!
At this year's Fuji hanamikai, senior maiko Umeyuu danced Rokudan Kuzushi, and our newcomer maiko Fumikiyo danced Gion Kouta. It was her first time performing at Hanamikai, since she debuted in December. Would you like to try your hand at becoming a maiko too?
At the end of February, we held our annual Baikasai - plum blossom viewing and tea ceremony event. Geiko Ayachiyo and maiko Fumikiyo performed the obon style tea ceremony, while maiko Umeyuu and Kimiaki showed off their skills at ryurei style tea ceremony.
Setsubun is a yearly event meant to usher in good fortune and ward off the demons: geiko and maiko do so by dressing in obake costumes or unusual hairstyles and performing at the shrine.
Maiko Kimiaki and Kimiharu performed for us, then participated in traditional mamemaki with geiko Umeyakko dressed in an Edo-period costume, geiko Ayachiyo dressed as a maiko, maiko Umeyuu and Fumikiyo!
