Hey Justine! I don’t know if you saw the new posters for the upcoming Gion Odori on mans instagram, but I want to know what you think about the kimono and I want to ask if you can tell us a little bit more about the “painted” ginko leaf kimono pattern. Another thing is that Tomieri isn’t on the cover so does that mean she’ll appear as a geiko soon 🤭. Thank you!

So, here's the image: Image courtesy of Man okiya . The red kimono on the right is being worn by Kanosuzu of Kanoya, which features patterns inside of ginkgo leaves. It's quite cute! The bottom one has bamboo while the top one has blue waves. The omission of Tomieri with the maiko does confirm that her erikae will take place before the event, so please look forward to it ^^
