November 3rd, 2019: Three maiko in Miyagawa Cho are about to take the next step in their careers! Kikuyae (菊弥江) (Left), Toshiemi (とし恵美) (Middle), and Kanako (叶子) (Right) are all wearing the sakkō hairstyle ahead of their erikae! Often times it’s rare to see one maiko wearing sakkō in a single kagai, but Miyagawa Cho has shown that 2019 is definitely their year and is proud to promote such hard working women to the title of geiko! Toshiemi and Kikuyae will be the first to turn their collars on November 7th, the same day that two new maiko, Kohatsu and Kotsuru, will be beginning their careers as maiko! Kanako will be following less than a week behind on November 13th ^^ Image is courtesy of Aki Kawamura.
