#KIMONO

[tanuki-kimono]

Quiet late autumn/early winter antique outfit, pairing a hushed grey kimono with leaves falling over spidery ground (probably kori-wari/cracking ice), and a beautifully matching leaves patterned purple-to-white ombre haori.

The antique chuya-obi (meaning it has a different pattern on reverse) has a striking impressionist painting pattern. Note how the striped obiage colors nicely tie the whole outfit together.

Anniversary and debut in Yamagata Back in August 2024, Miyuki (美ゆき) celebrated her 10th year as Yamagata Geiko, and we saw the debut of Wakana (わか奈), who previously worked as a Maiko in Yamagata from 2006-09. Miyuki works as Jikata Geiko (musician). As of September 24, Wakana also works as Jikata, but practises dance, so she can work as Tachikata Geiko in future. Congratulations to both!
