oiran-geisha:

The today’s misedashi of the maiko Kanona!

She is from Kanoya okiya in Gion Higashi. She is, with her sister Kanohiro, the only remaning maiko of this okiya! Her kanji are 叶菜 I don’t really know their meaning but the sound is great :) And I think she got some potential! (Source)

Your trougts about her?

Aside from the allure of Geiko and their traditional ways I can't find anything in mainstream media about a belief system. If you know anything I'd greatly appreciate it.

I don’t understand what you mean by belief system ? If you mean by superstitions of their job, not many of those are recorded as far as I know. Otherwise I think most hanamachi observe Shinto rituals and important dates.
