Personal. Met with a counselor. Every once in a while, I just need someone to talk to. A way to hand off the baggage or maybe get some help. Friends are good, but friends usually have their own problems and shuffling mine onto their shoulders is sometimes an ask too far. So, I opted for professional help after finding myself mired in a miasma of inaction. ## [(untitled)](https://endonend.org/asides/20260825212739/) _2026-08-26 · End On End - All Content_ 🎶 Crucial Track for today : "Taking Chances" by Sharon Van Etten → What song makes you want to forgive someone?

The cats are fed, and I’m giving the trees a quick drink. We’re in a heat wave and the ground is fast losing water. Plants and grasses are drying up, almost everything is brown. I don’t know when we’re expected to turn the corner, but I hope it’s sooner rather than later.

Unlike the sun, it’s easy on the eyes. There’s no burning demand for your undivided attention. It’s just quietly cool, hanging there in the night, bathed in the leftover light of earth’s bright star. I’m a big fan of the moon. It rings a lot of bells deep inside me. ## [(untitled)](https://endonend.org/asides/20260823211640/) _2026-08-24 · End On End - All Content_ 🎶 Crucial Track for today : "Force of Love" by Cleo Sol → Share a song that perfectly captures longing.

Suddenly, if you’re a fan of Star Trek: Next Generation, we’ve all got a computer version of Data, a sentient android, or Tony Stark’s Jarvis.

I went on a bit of a rabbit hole a few days ago and wanted to ask about kikunami. I noticed in your list of all the Hanafusa geimaiko she wasn’t listed, but Kikumi was. In your sister relationships tab, Kikumi isn’t listed, but kikunami was. There is also not a lot of information about Kikunami online, or I’m not looking in the right place lol. What do you know about her?](https://missmyloko.tumblr.com/post/825430295994040322) _2026-08-20 · Mylokoville_ Not too much. Kikunami was only a maiko for less than 3 years at the turn of the century, so there is little to no information out there about her. I wasn't aware that she was missing from the kanji list, so I'll go add her now ^^ ## [Hello! something I’ve been wondering when looking at photos from kotohajime, where everyone always looks very cold, is why people in Gion don’t wear coats or haori (I can maybe understand why they don’t wear haori as it might be too casual, but michiyuki or douchugi would be fine, as they are worn when it rains) I know that outside of the kagai, in some traditional circles or settings, women are encouraged to always wear some kind of coat when going outside in kimono (instead of “obitsuke”) though ofc this is a very old tradition and not everyone cares. I guess my main theory is because they’re going to many establishments/homes in one go, taking off the coat every time they entered a new building would be annoying? and the scarf is easier to maneuver? anyways, this is just me sincerely wondering and not a complaint or anything LOL (p.s., am so looking forward to Tomieri’s erikae!)](https://missmyloko.tumblr.com/post/825430037060829184) _2026-08-20 · Mylokoville_ December in Kyoto isn't as cold as you may think it is, and since Kyoto geimaiko don't wear haori, they wear shawls instead if it gets cold. The shawls are just a simple accessory that can be taken off easily when they go inside, so you are correct in that they are easier to maneuver with ^^ ## [So, I believe someone may have said this before but I checked out the Asahi Shimbun article about Taka (多香) and her hair being styled in Sakkō before her erikae. Did you know she was 22 at the time of her erikae? How common is it for maiko to have their erikae past the age of 20-21?](https://missmyloko.tumblr.com/post/825429212339044352) _2026-08-20 · Mylokoville_ Yes, she has just turned 22 not too long before her erikae. It's actually more common than you think for some girls to have their erikae not long after their 22nd birthday as they're kept maiko for as long as possible. This is due to numerous factors, such as a low number of maiko in the district/okiya, or the maiko herself wanting to feel like she's matured into the role properly before taking on… ## [Happy belated birthday! Hope that you had a great one! Asuha wore the kuromontsuki that Tama san wore at her erikae and I noticed that the black part of the kimono is not just plain black. It has what appears to be some kind of etching on it? I saw it on the kuromontsuki that Mameju wore on her erikae too. It’s beautiful! You can really see it in the sunlight. Is it a special kind of kimono? I don’t think that I’ve seen it on others before.](https://missmyloko.tumblr.com/post/825428959172984832) _2026-08-20 · Mylokoville_ It's not etching, but a pattern woven directly into the fabric to add an extra layer of extravagance called Rinzu (綸子) ^^ ## [Which naming lines were recently extinct? Is there a possibility to resurrect one? Other than the okasan’s family name (in the case of Tomikiku) how are new naming lines created? What other surname-derived naming lines are there?](https://missmyloko.tumblr.com/post/825428839567065088) _2026-08-20 · Mylokoville_ Recently the Taka (孝) line out of Kaida (貝田) in Gion Kobu went extinct after its final member, Takazuru, retired in 2024. Another naming line, the Teru (照) line, also out of Gion Kobu, is poised to go extinct next when its sole member, Terutoyo, leaves the profession in the future. When it comes to starting new lines, there's no real rules to it.

Sorry ^^; ## [Hi Justine, I was wondering why the “Mame” in Mameya’s geimei is different from what you would typically see in the Kineya/Shibata/Ninben naming lines. Was she originally from Tama?](https://missmyloko.tumblr.com/post/825428356130603008) _2026-08-20 · Mylokoville_ Shibata/Ninben's Mame- line is separate from Kineya/Tama's Mame- line. They may have once had a common ancestor, but as for who that was, that's now been lost to time. As for Mameya, sometimes a kanji is replaced with hiragana to achieve a certain stroke count that's deemed lucky. It still carries the same meaning, but is just spelled out plainly ^^ ## [Hello!

For instance, in the front yard by the big oaks, I’ve let the bindweed bind, and it’s traveled up into some low hanging branches on one of the big oaks. I actually think it looks good, which is a nice excuse for not pulling it down.
