June 4th, 2024: Congratulations on another erikae in the karyukai! Kimishō (君翔) of Honjo (本城) in Miyagawa Cho is the celebrant this time! She was the only imōto of geiko Kimiaya (君綾), also of Honjo who left the profession back in 2021, but has grown into a hard worker and strong dancer. She is the third of four erikae to take place in two weeks across the karyukai, making this a very busy season! Her outfit features lucky plants among waves and kanji with a matching wave obi ^^ おめでとうさんどす君翔さん ^o^! Image is courtesy of the Miyagawa Cho Kabukai.

Hi, I'm Mirino! Nice to meet you!!

Welcome to my blog! I'm delighted to have you here, and I can't wait to share my love of Japanese culture with you.

My name is Mirino, and I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the rich traditions and myths of my country, and I loved nothing more than sharing them with others. Over the years, I've developed a deep passion for all things Japanese, and I'm excited to share that passion with you through this blog.

One of the things I enjoy most about blogging is the opportunity to share my perspective on news and social issues in Japan and other countries. While I love exploring traditional Japanese culture, I also believe it's important to engage with the world around us and to have meaningful conversations about the issues that affect us all.

Whether you're interested in learning more about Japanese culture, exploring local myths and stories, or engaging in discussions about current events, I hope you'll find something here that resonates with you. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing more with you soon!

May 27th, 2024: Double congratulations are in order (slightly late!). Sayumi (紗友美) of Tsurui (つる居) in Gion Kobu and Ichikoto (市琴) of Katsumi (勝見) in Pontocho are celebrating their erikae! They're the first of four erikae scheduled for two weeks, making this a very busy time for the karyukai. Sayumi will be the last imōto that her onesan Sayaka will see celebrate her erikae as Sayaka is retiring in the coming weeks. Ichikoto, on the other hand, is the second imōto for Ichiraku to have her erikae. Sayumi's outfit features blue waves and cranes while Ichikoto's showcases wonderful treasure ships on waves ^^ おめでとうさんどす紗友美さんと市琴さん ^o^! Images are courtesy of Kyo Katsura Imanishi [1] [2].
