Possible Mukojima retirement and Okiya closure The instagram account of Mukojima Geisha Kotemari 小手毬, has been deleted. Kotemari: - debuted 2002 latest - became jimae around 2010 - opened her own Okiya Hanaichi 花いち - debuted a Hangyoku in 2013 (Rin 鈴) - and a Geisha in 2023 (Hana 花). Even if she is still active, pictures of her outside of the instagram account were rare, and she didn't participate in the big Mukojima dances Mukojima Odori and Sumida Matsuri since 2022 (no infos on earlier line-ups). She definitely was still active in October 2025, but I haven't saved any pictures after that.
