Haruka is not her Geimyo,but her real name ^^;;
But since she’s from Okatome which hosts Miharu and Fukuharu-if I remember well, her geimyo could easily be Haruka :) But let’s wait a few days to see ;)

NEWS: Remember this lady in violet kimono? She first appeared in maiko’s attire as an assistant of a tea ceremony before the Kamogawa Odori in May 2014. It seems that she has been a minarai in Pontocho district since then. Today finally her name was revealed!
She is named Ichikana (市佳奈) and probably she will debut as a maiko within one month. She is an official little sister of geiko Ichisayo.
A really cute minarai in Pontocho!!

“The geisha system was founded, actually, to promote the independence and economic self-sufficiency of women. And that was its stated purpose, and it actually accomplished that quite admirably in Japanese society, where there were very few routes for women to achieve that sort of independence.”

Toshiyui-san by candlelight. Before electricity, geiko-san and maiko-san would entertain by candlelight. They painted their faces white so their features could be seen in the dim light.
