In order: Sanko 三子 from Sapporo, 1990's Kikuno 菊乃 from Nara, 1992 Ichiteru 市照 from Kyoto (Pontocho), 2017 Tsukushi つくし from Tokyo (Mukojima), 2019 (work Furisode) Ichina いち菜 from Tokyo (Kagurazaka), 2021 Kanofuji 佳乃藤 from Akita, ca. 2022 Chizuru 千鶴 from Osaka (Nanchi), 2023 Iroha いろ羽 from Akita, 2024 Maiko 舞衣子 from Niigata, 2024 (work Furisode) Kotono 古都乃 from Aizuwakamatsu, 2025 (work Furisode) Apart from Tsukushi, all pictures have originally been published on instagram. Source links for Ichiteru and Chizuru are dead, Kanofuji's and Kotono's pictures have been released as instagram stories and are therefore no longer available. Tsukushi's picture was from Futaba's Facebook I presume. But without Facebook account, browsing possibilities are limited.

Hangyoku Ichina from Kagurazaka dancing. 8. November 2019. Photo by Takaya_Kyoto on twitter.  I think there aren’t many full-length photos of Tokyo Hangyoku, so look at them in full size and appreciate the beautiful colours and details :)
