First of all, what exactly is "Omisedashi"?
I think some of you may be wondering what that is, so I'll give you a simple explanation.
Maiko debuts!The day is called Misedashi. (←That's too rough lol but this is the easiest to understand lol)
↑↑Ms. A looks so happy to have become a maiko with such a lovely expression (*´∀`*)
The debut of maiko is a typical Kyoto event.Traditional poetry.
With the mother and older sister maiko of the okiyaSleepingThey learn dance and etiquette together.
Learn Kyoto dialect,About a year(It seems like there are a lot of kids from rural areas these days.)
After completing his apprenticeship at a tea shop,The proprietress of a kimono house and the head of a dance school,
The union membersForgive meOnce this is done, the unveiling will be decided.

↑↑Maiko who have been on the market for about two yearsBroken Shinobu"The hairstyle is like this.
Makeup islower lipOnlydeep redThis is why she wears more modest makeup than the other older maiko.
Normally, colorful flower hairpins are used, but for three days after the display,Silver flapInsert it into both.
It would be great to see the special formal attire worn only for three days in the life of a geisha or maiko.ラ ッ キ ーThat's right.
The maiko's name is the older sister's.One characterThis will be decided upon receipt.
For example, MiyagawaThe maiko at Komaya areageMana-san,ageNatsuna-sanageEmi-san,ageNana-san...

About 5 or 6 years after entering the brothelAround 20 years oldThen she will graduate from being a maiko.
Will she become a geisha after that, or will she quit and pursue a different path?自 分So we have to decide.
