August 1, 2017: Aoi-tayuu and her kamuro, of Suehiro okiya, taking part in Hassaku Dochu (八朔道中) dressed in all-white kitsuke.

During the Edo period, daimyos and hatamotos would visit the shogun dressed in ceremonial white katabira and hakama to praise the founding of the Tokugawa shogunate on the 1st day of the 8th month. As a way of thanking the Tokugawa for permitting the creation of the yukaku (licensed pleasure quarters), tayuu and oiran would mimic the samurai class by wearing light hemp shiromuku and parading with full retinue around the quarter.

As they use to do during New Years, each courtesan would present a set of sake cups to each of the tea-houses. Each sake cup was inscribed with the crest of the courtesan, and each set was packed in a tiny box of kiri (paulownia) wood on which was written the courtesan's name and the name of the house to which she belonged. The tradition of Hassaku would also become popular with geisha as a way to give thanks to the various teahouses for their patronage.
