It's Time To Say Goodbye
There were some rumors swirling around a few months ago that a certain geiko would be retiring to be marrying a famous actor. Well, it seems like rumors in the tabloids were true as Toshimana (とし真菜) of Komaya (駒屋) in Miyagawa Cho has officially retired from the profession as of November 30th. She was a truly talented dancer and conversationalist and will be missed in her community. However, she is not the only one from Komaya to have left. Toshinagi (とし菜希) has also left the profession after spending less than a year as a geiko. It's very sad, but not too unusual as those who don't decide to become jimae or just don't want to commit to such a hard lifestyle usually leave within a year. Whatever the cause for her retirement, we wish her the best in her future endeavors ^^
