What's That Thing? Part 29
On The Fourth Day of Fun I present... an ask! Like many of the good asks I tend to hold onto them for times like this as they make for wonderful features ^^ Anonymous asked: "What were your favorite misedashi/sakkō/erikae ensembles this year?" This is such a hard one to answer too as there were so many good ones! My favorite misedashi ensemble goes to Hinaho (雛帆) of Sakaemasa (栄政) in Gion Higashi. Since they don't have misedashi often we don't get to see their outfits much, so I liked seeing their very elegant lucky treasures/karabana and trellis combo!

Kaden's unique tradition of having their maiko wear iromontsuki for a few days is nice in and of itself, but it's the iromontsuki that steals the show! It's a beautiful wine red color with a family of cranes holding pine needles. It truly sets the tone for the upcoming erikae and is an unforgettable kimono!

A New Documentary!
NHK World has recently released a new documentary called “A Maiko’s Coiffure: Beautiful Ties In Kyoto” that follows 92 year old Emiko Yamanaka as she styles the hair of Fukuya (ふく弥) of Kawayoshi (河よ志) in Miyagawa Cho and Hidemai (秀眞衣) and Hidesaki (秀咲季) of Masamiya (雅美家) in Pontocho. It was filmed this year so it’s quite recent. It covers Hidemai’s first ofuku, Fukuya’s retirement, and Hidesaki’s first wareshinobu. You can watch it free here. It’s available until October 23rd, 2022 ^^
Maiko Hidemai of Pontocho, heading into the Pontocho Kaburenjo
Kyoto, Japan
Wandered around some of the geisha districts again (mostly Miyagawacho and Pontocho) and saw—I believe—maiko Hidemai headed into the Pontocho Kaburenjo. Then off to Ginkaku-ji, followed by another wander around the apartment, where we stumbled into Kennin-ji.
