December 5th and 7th, 2024: Double congratulations are in order for two new geiko! Kohatsu (小はつ) of Shigemori (しげ森) in Miyagawa Cho and Haruchizu (櫻千鶴) of Tama (多麻) in Gion Kobu are celebrating their erikae! Kohatsu is the second imōto of Kofuku (小ふく), also of Shigemori, to have her erikae while Haruchizu, who is the imōto of Mamechizu (豆千鶴) of Nomura (野村), is the third of Mamechizu's imōto to have her erikae. Both women have been preparing for this day for a while and suit the geiko look so well! Kohatsu's ensemble features poems among rice sheaths with a golden karabana obi while Haruchizu's ensemble features genjikō, pine, and plum blossoms with a golden bamboo obi ^^ おめでとうさんどす小はつさんと櫻千鶴さん ^o^!

November 7th, 2019: Congratulations on a big day in Miyagawa Cho! Both Kikuyae (菊弥江) of Hanafusa (花ふさ) and Toshiemi (とし恵美) of Komaya (駒屋) celebrated their erikae while Kohatsu (小はつ) and Kotsuru (小つる) of Shigemori (しげ森) celebrated their misedashi! One person celebrating is always wonderful, but doubles are even more rare and highly auspicious! It goes to show how prosperous Miyagawa Cho has been in 2019 with the highest number of overall debuts and will soon have the highest number of erikae ^^ おめでとうさんどす菊弥江さん、とし恵美さん、小はつちゃん、と小つるちゃん ^o^!
