#Shibata okiya

[missmyloko]

Hi! I hope you’re having an amazing day. I’m wondering about Shibata and Hiroshimaya selling off some of their items as you said in a previous post.

Is there a specific reason they are doing this that you may know of? And do you know where they are selling them?

Thanks!

Shibata closed as an okiya a few years ago, so they've been liquidating their old kimono and obi. As for Hiroshimaya, they've just been selling off some older pieces to make room for some newer ones, which is something that all okiya do every so often (it's just not always as easy to find their items) ^^

Oirangeisha’s high hopes for the 2017 girls.

I told you my opinion and my hopes on my new favorite girls who have had their misedashi this year. It’s not very objective because I don’t speak about some of them. Also this is just a quick opinion nothing too serious I don’t claim to know those girls.

1/Tatsuha and Yuriha, debuted in January under Takeha in the Tama okiya. Those two girls are super lucky to start with such an impressive onesan! They seems very dedicated in their work and fun to be around. They are also such cutiepies that i do look forward to see them bloom! (Source)

2/Mamesaya, debuted in March under Mameya in the Shibata okiya. I do like the girls of Shibata okiya to start with and Mamesaya’s bright smile do caught my eyes. She also does seems to be popular with the photographers which is nice for her. I’m sure she is a hard-working girl and I’m whishing her all the best! (Source)

3/Ichisato, debuted in March under Ichiemi in Masunoya okiya. She have such a striking look I wish for more photographs of her in 2018. And it’s always refresing to have a new face in Pontocho so I do hope the best for her! (Source)

4/Tomichie, debuted in October under Tomitae in Tomikiku okiya. To be honest i am into all the new Gion Higashi girls of this year but i decided to feature my favorite of the four, Tomichie. Being under the Tomitae’s wing I can’t wait to see this cute girl grow into a full fledged artist.(Source)

5/Fumiyuki, debuted in September without an onesan in Katsufumi okiya. She is the very first maiko of her okiya and she seems to be very dedicated to make her okiya shine. I also adore her cute look and i’m sure she will be very asked by the photographers. Can’t wait to see her progress for 2018! (Source)

6/Katsuki, debuted in October under Katsune in Daimonji okiya. I am very happy for this okiya to have a new maiko and Katsuki is such a sweet girl. I  wish her the best and I do think that she can be a popular girl in Kamishichiken! (Source)

7/Mamewaka, debuted in December under Yoshimame in Shibata okiya. It is so refreshing to have a new jikata geiko in Gion Kobu. And I am so glad to see Gion Kobu allowing new girls in as geiko like Mamewaka and Danmitsu. So I am really looking forward to see her progress, best luck Mamewaka-san!(Source)

8/Toshinana and Toshinami, debuted in December under Toshikana in Komaya okiya. Komaya okiya does make popular maiko and having Toshikana as onesan is such a chance for those two girls. I am sure that they will become a powerful duo in their karyukai! Best luck to you both!(Source)

Hello,I hope you’re doing well. I bought this Maiko Hikizuri on yahoo Japan auctions. Do you know to which okiya it belong to or which Maiko wore it ?

I love your blog, thank you always for your work.

I haven't found an image of it being worn, but I know that they've been selling items from Shibata and Hiroshimaya lately, so try looking up previous maiko from those okiya ^^

hi! I hope your vacation is going well!

this is a question about Masano-San of the Man Okiya in Gion Higashi and about Mamesaya-san of the Ninben/Shibata Okiya In Gion Kobu.

how come she hasn’t had her erikae yet? She’s been active for 6 years now as a Maiko, is she doing a Maiko only contract or is she going to become a Geiko?

is Mamesaya-san going to have her erikae soon? She’s the most senior Maiko of all of Kyoto and Gion Kobu. I believe she’s been active for almost 5 years now.

Masano had her erikae earlier this year to much joy! As for Mamesaya, if she does have her erikae then it may be soon, we'll just have to wait and see ^^

แม่น้ำ Shirakawa (白川) คือแม่น้ำในเกียวโตที่ไหลไปสู่แม่น้ำ Kamo (鴨川) ชื่อ Shirakawa แปลตรงตัวได้ว่า “แม่น้ำสีขาว” นั่นก็เพราะมีทรายสีขาวละเอียดไหลมาพร้อมกับสายน้ำจากภูเขาทางตะวันออกของเกียวโต โดยก่อนไหลสู่แม่น้ำ Kamo แม่น้ำสายนี้ได้ไหลผ่านเขตเกอิชาที่เรียกว่า Gion Kobu ที่ซึ่งเต็มไปด้วยโรงน้ำชาและภัตตาคารตลอดสองฝั่งของแม่น้ำ
