December 9th, 2019: It’s been a big day for the Kyoto karyukai! There were three misedashi and one erikae across three different kagai! Katsuhana (佳つ花) of Odamoto (小田本) celebrated her erikae in Gion Kobu to much fanfare. Over in Miyagawa Cho Toshieri (としえり) of Komaya (駒屋) and Kimimitsu (君光) of Toshikimi (利きみ) celebrated their misedashi and look exuberant in front of their mokuroku! Finally, Hideyoshi (秀好) of Masamiya (雅美家) in Pontocho became the fourth debut from the Masamiya okiya in 2019, which can only be described as a bumper year with a bright future! These will be the final misedashi for the year, but there’s still one erikae left to round out the decade ^^! おめでとうさんどす佳つ花さん、としえりちゃん、君光ちゃん、と秀好ちゃん ^o^!

October 29th, 2019: Two more minarai have made their debut in Kyoto! In a bumper year for Miyagawa Cho, Komaya (駒屋) will be celebrating their third debut with Toshieri (としえり), on the left, whose misedashi is expected at the end of November. Over in Pontocho, Masamiya (雅美家) continues its trend of new debuts, with their fifth (!) minarai of the year in Hideyoshi (秀好), on the right. Her misedashi will be on December 9th, which is less than 3 weeks after Hidechiyo debuts from the same okiya!  There’s also another minarai in Miyagawa Cho too, but there haven’t been any pictures posted of her yet. She’s Kimimitsu (君光) of Toshikimi (利きみ) and will likely debut around the same time as Toshieri ^^ Images are courtesy of Komaya Okiya and Ochaya and Masamiya Okiya and Ochaya.
