missmyloko: May 14th, 2019: Congratulations to Asako (亜佐子) of Nishimura (西村) in Gion Kobu on the occasion of her misedashi! She is the second imōto of Yukako (有佳子), also of Nishimura, and the first of two maiko to debut from her okiya this month. Her kimono featured the Shōchikubai trio along with cranes and her obi was the lovely green-based pine one that Nishimura has used in the past as an interesting departure from the usual gold obi. Asako’s future looks very bright as the other imōto of her onesan, Mikako (実佳子), has been one of the most successful geimaiko in Gion Kobu since her debut. In the bottom left hand image you can see Asako and Yukako along with former geiko Kumiko (玖見子), who runs the Nishimura okiya along with its attached ochaya named Kumi (玖見).おめでとうさんどす亜佐子ちゃん ^o^!Images are courtesy of Kyotoq9, Makiko, and Emi Blue who allowed me to use some exclusive images ^^ -- source link
