Kitashinchi Geiko (I think her name was Sakura さく良), recreating the look of Kitashinchi Maiko. She explains that the outfit (Hikizuri, Haneri, Obi, Obidome) was worn by her older sister Umetomi 梅十三 when she was a Maiko (1950's). The hairstyle she is wearing in the pictures is in Kyoto-style. When Kitashinchi still had Maiko, their hairstyles were either Kyoto or Edo style (it seems the bin 鬢, the round sides of the hair, are the difference here).

I visited Quatre Lapin Kita Umeda, the third branch of the French restaurant famous for its super cheap steak lunch. Founded in March 2017, the restaurant is located in a quiet residential area in an alley off the main street leading from Umeda. Actually, I have been wanting to order 3 pieces of meat at Cattle Lapin ever since I saw the reviews on the Tabelog before.

In fact, I was not so sure… because at the main restaurant in Kitashinchi and the Kobe Sannomiya restaurant that I have been to so far, the max was 2 pieces of meat (400g). This review is a bit old as it is from 2019, but can you still order 3 pieces of meat back-to-back? I was excited to imagine a situation where 600 grams of steak meat would appear in front of me…

More April 4

After a much needed break, we head to the Dotonbori neighborhood, described at "Osaka’s most famous tourist destination and renowned for its gaudy neon lights, extravagant signage, and the enormous variety of restaurants and bars." Amen to that--shades of Shinjuku's Kabukicho neighborhood!

Susan plunges into a very narrow alley lined with restaurants and bars. A display of Wagyu beef catches her eye and we take a seat at the counter of Kitashinchi Harami Hozenji. The restaurant specializes in "yakinuki" (grilled meat), specifically in harami or skirt steak.

We start with a beer for me and a very generous pour (overflowing into a box) of sake for Susan. Kimchi and a green salad constitute the vegetable course but the highlight is definitely the steak!

This question may be too laborious to answer if you don't already know so I apologize, but do you know what kagai outside of Kyoto Kamishichiken study the Hanayagi School (花柳流) of nihonbuyo?

Hey, no problem. It's no secret for many Hanamachi which schools of dance they follow. A list has been compiled before, so it's easy to get the info you're looking for: Hanayagi-ryû is currently taught in: Atami [8], Fukuoka [1] Gifu, Gero Onsen [7], Isawa [2], Kumamoto [2], Nagasaki [11], Nara [6], Osaka-Kitashinchi, Osaka-Nanchi [3], Tokyo-Asakusa [9], Tokyo-Kagurazaka, Tokyo-Oi/Omori, Tokyo-Shinbashi [4], Tokyo-Yoshi-cho Hanamachi that formerly followed Hanayagi-ryû or simply ceased to exist: Kôfu [2], Kusatsu [2], Kyoto-Shimabara [10], Takasaki [2], Tokyo-Yoshiwara [5], Ureshino Onsen [2] Sources: [1] Fukuoka's dance teacher in 2024 is Hanayagi Suketarô [2] はなあかり: 昭和名妓連 by Kobunshi Katsura, 1988 [3] Nanchi Geiko danced at Hanayagi-ryu Yukata Kai in 2024 [4] https://shinbashi-kumiai.tokyo/新橋芸者 [5] The story of the Geisha girl by Fujimoto Taizô, 1913 [6] Nara Geiko Hinagiku and Kikuno are/were natori of Hanayagi-ryu [7] https://www.asahi.com/articles/AST2L4245T2LOHGB00BM.html [8] https://digital.izu-np.co.jp/news/education/63687 [9] https://www.instagram.com/p/CmI9HSgr4pg/ [10] https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/新井豆爾 [11] www.city.nagasaki.lg.jp/nagazine/siteki/040921/index.html For the cities without numbers, I don't know the sources - when I first made the list on Tsurukomaiko, I didn't bother to add any of them and only started compiling them retroactively at a later point ^^;

Osaka Unveiled: Discovering the Best Activities in Japan's Culinary Capital

  Osaka, Japan's second-largest city, is a vibrant metropolis known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and, above all, its mouthwatering cuisine. From sizzling street food stalls to Michelin-starred restaurants, Osaka offers a culinary adventure like no other. But beyond its gastronomic delights, this dynamic city is also home to a wealth of attractions and activities that are sure to captivate visitors of all ages and interests.

Begin your exploration of things to do osaka in the bustling district of Dotonbori, the city's epicenter of entertainment and dining. Here, you'll find a kaleidoscope of neon lights, towering billboards, and bustling crowds, all vying for your attention. Take a leisurely stroll along the Dotonbori Canal, where you can snap photos of the iconic Glico Running Man billboard and sample some of Osaka's most famous street foods, including takoyaki (octopus balls), okonomiyaki (savory pancakes), and kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers).

After satisfying your taste buds in Dotonbori, venture to Osaka Castle, one of Japan's most iconic landmarks. This majestic fortress, surrounded by expansive gardens and moats, offers a glimpse into Japan's feudal past and provides stunning views of the city skyline from its observation deck. Explore the castle's interior museum, which houses artifacts and exhibits detailing the history of the samurai and the rise of the Tokugawa shogunate.

For a more contemporary experience, head to the Umeda Sky Building, a striking architectural marvel that offers panoramic views of Osaka from its rooftop observation deck, known as the Floating Garden Observatory. Marvel at the cityscape below as you stroll across the open-air walkway, or enjoy a romantic dinner at the building's rooftop restaurant, which offers sweeping vistas of the city illuminated at night.

No visit to Osaka would be complete without indulging in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Head to the tranquil oasis of the Osaka Castle Park, where you can participate in a tea ceremony led by a knowledgeable tea master. Learn about the ancient rituals and customs associated with this time-honored practice as you sip on matcha (powdered green tea) and savor traditional Japanese sweets.

For a taste of Osaka's vibrant performing arts scene, catch a kabuki or bunraku (traditional puppet theater) performance at the National Bunraku Theater. Experience the mesmerizing artistry of Japan's classical theater forms as talented performers bring ancient tales to life on stage with elaborate costumes, intricate choreography, and masterful storytelling.

For a day trip outside the city, hop on a train to the historic town of Nara, home to some of Japan's most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Explore the sprawling grounds of Todai-ji, the world's largest wooden building and home to a colossal bronze Buddha statue, or wander through the serene gardens of Kasuga Taisha, a stunning Shinto shrine surrounded by thousands of stone lanterns.

As night falls, Osaka truly comes alive with a vibrant nightlife scene that rivals any other city in Japan. Head to the trendy district of Kitashinchi, where you'll find an array of chic cocktail bars, stylish lounges, and upscale nightclubs. Alternatively, explore the narrow alleyways of Hozenji Yokocho, lined with cozy izakayas (Japanese pubs) and traditional teahouses, where you can enjoy a laid-back evening of food, drinks, and conversation with locals and fellow travelers alike.

What’s In a Name? Part 2

Not as long today since I’ve been adding so many names to the meta list (I have 70ish years of names still to go through as I’ve only gone back as far as the 1960s at the moment). Since last time was a bit more complicated today we’ll look at kanji that basically have one meaning and one meaning only (no one gets confused!) Also, all of the examples from Gion Kobu can be found in the meta list (yay!). So, let’s look at some of the more commonly used kanji! Ha: 葉 Prefix of Suffix: Suffix Old Meaning: A Leaf or Foliage New (Standardized) Meaning: A Leaf Found In: Gion Kobu, Kamishichiken, and Pontocho While it can be scattered around various hanamachi, Gion Kobu is known for its continuous -ha line of maiko and geiko that can be traced back at least 100 years! It’s a simple kanji with a simple meaning! Examples: 竹葉 Takeha (Gion Kobu): “Bamboo Leaf” 梅葉 Umeha (Kamishichiken): “Plum Leaf” もみ葉 Momiha (Pontocho): “Turning (Fall Color) Maple Leaf” or “Red Leaf” as it can be a stand in for “紅葉” which can be pronounced as “momiji” (changing maple leaves) or, read as the literal kanji (red leaf). Either way, the name means the same thing!  Na: 菜 Prefix or Suffix: Both Old Meaning: Vegetable or Salad Greens New (Standardized) Meaning: Vegetable or Salad Greens Found In: Gion Kobu, Miyagawa Cho, Pontocho, and Gion Higashi Slightly tricky since both “ha” (葉) and “na” (菜) look very similar and, in a way, share a bit of common meaning. To tell the two apart when it comes to translation “ha” refers to leaves of trees or plants that grow tall while “na” is for leaves or plants that are edible and grown close to the ground. Examples: 菜摘子 Natsuko (Gion Kobu): “Child Who Picks Vegetables”  市奈菜 Ichinana (Pontocho): “Your First Vegetables”, kinda gets tricky when “奈” gets added as both kanji are used for the same pronunciation.  とし夏菜 Toshikana (Miyagawa Cho):”Year of Summer Vegetables” or “Town of Summer Vegetables”, this one seems hard, but is actually easy since the kanji go well together and there aren’t too many different readings for “とし”. 叶菜 Kanona (Gion Higashi): “Granter of Vegetables”, the “kano” (叶) kanji is one of seeing your dreams come true or wishes fulfilled, but its basic meaning is “to grant” or “to answer”. This combination could also be translated as “The Fruits (or, in this case, Vegetables) of [Your] Labor” Ko: 子 Prefix or Suffix: Both Old Meaning: Child New (Standardized) Meaning: Child Found In: All 5 Hanamachi Extremely common kanji that is still very common in Japanese girl’s names today and many geimei of the karyukai. 叶子 Kanako (Miyagawa Cho): “Child of Wishes” 駒子 Komako (Gion Higashi): “Horse Child” (a foal) or “Child of Horses”, both bring about the image of a young horse (or a young girl with a horse) running and playing in wide open fields. 市子 Ichiko (Pontocho): “First Child”, the most precious name of the Ichi- line of Pontocho as it was the original name of the line’s founder. It is only bestowed upon individuals who are excellent dancers. The current Ichiko debuted back in the mid 1950s and is one of Kyoto’s greatest dancers. 尚子 Naoko (Kamishichiken): “Greater Child” or “Child With More to Come”, the “尚” kanji evokes a sense of the future and the greatness that will come with it. 有佳子 Yukako (Gion Kobu): “Child Who Possesses Excellence”
