Ganbatte Kudasai Kaishi Chou Okiya!

It was story night at Kaishi Chou Okiya!
It is also the home of a good friend of mine, you may know her or know of her. :)
...Miehina, Sr. Maiko of this wonderful Hanamachi!


Mie-chan played the Koto on my arrival, it was sad that I was the only guest at this event, but I suppose a lot more special because I was treated so well with lots of attention.
They really outdo themselves. ^_^


Sr. Maiko-san Miehina on Koto. Me, then Minarai-chan Yasuha, Geiko-san Aiyuzuki and Jr. Maiko-san  Hoshiko !
They were really hospitable hosts, little Yasuha-chan looked so pretty in the corner, observing, I just had to tip her for being there. So cute. ^_^
Ayuzuki-san poured me a cuplet of soft, sweet green tea. Was very lovely. I will be requesting that recipe! ;D


Hoshiko-san on the Koto now as Mie-chan tells her first story!
The first story was very interesting, about the actual life and adventures in Japan of the author, Lafcadio Hearne. I have to admit, the whole way through, she had me hooked!
The second story, about The Vampire Cat Of Nabeshima!!
Very spooky story indeed but with a happy ending! :D


Mie-chan looking very pretty in her green hiki this evening. A cheeky glance over by the lovely Hoshiko-san too there hehe.
Arigatou gozaimasu the girls of Kaishi Chou Okiya.
I had a most memorable night.


...And HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIE-CHAN!
Hehe. Love you so much, like my very own sister. :) ganbatte kudasai <3

  2. Miehina-san is so kind :) I wish I could've been there, too. I wonder why not many people came, because there are always so many visitors at her performances.

    1. Oh she is definately.
      I think the reasoning for just one person attending, was that it was held quite early than most events at Kaishi Chou.
      Was at 4pm SLT, when usually they have Ozashikis and storytimes around 6pm. :)
      But I enjoyed it more I suppose, all the attention I got hehe.
