#tomihoshi

Another batch of retirements have now been confirmed. although two of the names should come as no surprise. Ichiume (市梅) of Ichi (市) in Kamishichiken Ichigiku (市ぎく) of Ichi (市) in Kamishichiken Tomihoshi (富豊志) of Tomikiku (富菊) in Gion Higashi Rumors surrounding the Ichi girls have been going around for a few months now, but it’s been confirmed by reputable sources that they are indeed gone. Shocking though is Tomihoshi as she was a maiko for only a year.

September 26th, 2019: Congratulations to Kimichō (君蝶) of Honjo (本城) in Miyagawa Cho and Tomihoshi (富豊志) of Tomikiku (富菊) in Gion Higashi on the occasion of their misedashi! Kimichō is the imōto of Kimiyū (君有), pictured beside her on the right, while Tomihoshi does not have an onesan. Both girls are looking fabulous and are kicking off a busy misedashi and erikae season that will last for the next two months ^^! おめでとうさんどす君蝶ちゃんと富豊志ちゃん ^o^!

September 25th, 2018: Meet minarai Tomihoshi (富豊志) of Tomikiku (富菊) in Gion Higashi! She appeared in the Gion Odori photo shoot earlier in the month, but has now officially made the switch to her minarai outfit. The pronunciation of her geimei is very unique as it immediately brings to mind “Stars” (spelled as “星” and pronounced as “Hoshi”)! She’ll be debuting on September 26th, which is tomorrow! As her uchi iwai shows, she will not be debuting with an onesan, but will rather have the assistance of her fellow maiko and geiko of Tomikiku to help show her the ropes ^^ Images are courtesy of Gion Rinken.
