Sadly I didn't get it :,) it was an auction and the price went too high
Here's what it looked like. Has the same silver painted design a regular maiko obiage has
And these are the listing title, both original and translated. Plus a closeup of the tag
For comparison, I have pics of 2 known genuine maiko obiage not worn
This summer obiage was also for sale a few months ago. But unfortunately it was also way out of my price range :,) I actually saw a pic of a maiko wearing an obiage with this exact pattern in one of your posts!
This one I actually own! I got it for $4 because of its condition. It's only half the obiage!
That's a lot of damage
Maybe one day I'll get an obiage in good condition...
Hello! I found an obiage for sale online and it's both advertised and looks like a genuine maiko obiage. The only thing is that it's hot pink instead of the traditional red. Was wondering if it's possible a maiko could have a pink obiage? (I can send a pic in dm)
Hey there! It really depends on the city. Kyoto Maiko only use red-based obiage for their work outfits (red with silver embroidery, not sure if they use shibori obiage as well?). But hot pink might be possible for a Tokyo hangyoku, especially thinking of Mukojima's broad variety of colours... I'll check this tomorrow in greater detail.
Edit:
Ok, so - with Hikizuri, Kyoto Maiko's obiage is only red with silver embroidery. With their casual outfits, they wear other colours (pastel pink or white/red shibori), but not hot pink.
Pastel pink is actually not uncommon (Gifu, Niigata, Akita, Tokyo Asakusa/Mukojima/Shinagawa). But as for hot pink... this is the closest I could find - Akita Maiko Kanofuji, April 2021:
So, well, it seems that it's not as common as I thought.

Did you finish the umineko VN? What are your overall thoughts and opinions about it?
I haven’t yet!! I keep meaning to continue it. I’m still in the early part of Episode 6. Hopefully one day I will!!! Love Battler and Beato’s banter in the question arcs. Everytime I think of the VN I think of how I forgot I was reading umineko cause of how in depth they went into stocks and how a company works gfvgfhgg learned more than school ever did lmaoooo. Music is an absolute banger and I always get excited when I find a new album on itunes (yes they’re adding them after all these years lmao). I got spoiled a few things already tho oh well, excited for when those things happen haha

“I must keep these girls safe!! They’re all I have left!!”
Recently been thinking abt au where Aoi decides to take up the sword again. More specifically, Shinobu dies early on so Aoi feels she needs to do it for the butterfly girls sakes.
The haori she’s wearing I actually own!! Since I’ve started cosplaying her she’s quickly become my new fave. Tho, no one can replace Muzan as my ultimate fave… I will see myself out.
Also really wanted to give her that color fade in her hair, to make her look even cooler!! I really enjoyed doing the highlights on it~~
