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^!
