What Does It Take To Be #1?

'Cause 2 is not a winner and 3 nobody remembers (haha, got 'em). But in all seriousness, the results are in for this year's Shigyōshiki! This year's #1 in Gion Kobu is... Yuzuha (柚子葉) of Tama (多麻)! and This year's #1 in Miyagawa Cho is... Koaki (小晶) of Kaden (花傳)! Congratulations to both of these women on working extra hard over the past year!

Omisedashi

おおきに！としゑ美どす。よろしゅうおたのもうしま。 「Good Evening, I'm Toshiemi. Please keep me in your favor.」

On Thursday, December 8, 2022 I had my 'omisedashi' celebration. I have made my formal debut to work as a maiko-san with Komayaka Okiya at Kyoto-kagai. In these last few days, I was showered with gifts and kindness of those in the community who support each other.

My formal kuromontsuke hikizuri was especially created for the occasion. In truth, the mother of our house, Geiko Toshiha, made it. I absolutely adore it and wish I could find a thousand reasons to wear it. However, today was the third day of my week-long celebration, which means I must put it away until a formal kimono is required. It won't be long! Formal attire is used during new years celebrations and for shigyoshiki!

The auspicious motif in use is called Shochikubai. Shochikubai is a combination of Pine, Bamboo leaf, and Plum Blossom. It is quite colorful in its use here. Also, the hikizuri depicts bold blue crashing waves. There is also a treasure ship riding along the waves.

In tradition, we slapped one of my hanameishi (or senjafuda) onto the pillar with the rest!

Many mokuroku (celebratory posters) were commissioned by friends, sisters, and patrons. If you see these posted - it means someone has either debuted as a maiko or as a geiko. They don't stay up for very long on display. They are saved elsewhere once the celebratory week has ended.

I now also have a designated Oneesan, or mentor, who I can ask for guidance of. That is Geiko Toshiha. My heart and my spirit are full.

I did not go to Kyoto for Shigyoshiki last year, I was planning on going this year instead. Little did I know at the time that it would be cancelled, like so many events around the world. Hopefully everything will be back to normal in 2022, meanwhile, here are some pictures taken at the start of the year in 2019.

More pictures on my Instagram.

What's shigyoshiki ?

Shigyōshiki (始業式) is the year opening ceremony where geimaiko gather to celebrate the achievements of the past year and commit themselves to the pursuit of their gei in the new year ^^

[miyajimacho-imvu]

Hello again, do senior maiko get to pick whether they would wear pink, green, or blue okobo or there is a certain time when a senior maiko will wear a certain color of an okobo? Also, which formal events do maiko and geiko dress formally?

Hello. I have seen senior maiko wear pink, green or blue okobo straps often but I think it also depends on the okiya. As for the formal events the most formal events for the hanamachi are Shigyoshiki (start of the new year) and Hassaku (August 1st) but there are many different events in between so it's a broad topic. I recommend checking out blogs like @missmyloko @geisha-kai @geimei @geimaiko and others for more information.
