October 7th, 2009. The maiko Umeraku makes her debut in the Kamishichiken hanamachi.
Hanamachi (literally "flower towns") are the districts of Kyoto where geiko (the Kyoto dialect word for geisha) and maiko (apprentice geisha) live and work.
Below is a list of the five hanamachi and the maiko who work there. Clicking on a name will take you to a picture of the maiko.
All the pictures were taken by me.
Gion Higashi (6 maiko)
The name of the yakata (geisha house) followed by the names of the maiko.
An asterisk after a maiko's name indicates she debuted in 2008. Two asterisks means she debuted in 2009.
