January 31st, 2025: A new minarai has emerged! Miekinu (美恵絹) of Kawayoshi (河よ志) in Miyagawa Cho has begun her minarai period and is currently on the path to becoming a maiko. Since Kawayoshi's atotori, Fukue (ふく恵), is now retired they needed someone to become onesan to their new shikomi, so they chose the ever talented Miehina (美恵雛) of Harutomi (春富) to fill this role. This is Miehina's first imōto and Kawayoshi's first debut in nine years! Miekinu's misedashi will be taking place in February ^^ Image courtesy of Kawayoshi Okiya.

February 20th, 2025: Double congratulations are in order for a double debut! Fukukoto (ふく琴) of Horiyae (堀八重) and Miekinu (美恵絹) of Kawayoshi (河よ志) in Miyagawa Cho are celebrating their misedashi! They have excellent onesan in Fukuka (ふく佳) of Fujishima (藤島) and Miehina (美恵雛) of Harutomi (春富) respectively. They are the first double misedashi for Miyagawa Cho in four years, with Kanatomo and Koyori being the last pair. Fukukoto's outfit features folding fans with treasures and auspicious plants and a golden obi of snowflakes and karabana while Miekinu's outfit features flowers and waves with a fan and lattice pattern obi ^^ おめでとうさんどすふく琴ちゃんと美恵絹ちゃん ^o^!
