Today in Gion Kobu: debut (misedashi) of maiko Marika from Tsurui okiya
Congratulations! After her minarai training, Marika finally became a real maiko. Her older sister is geiko Sayaka - Marika adopted “-ka" suffix from her. They live in the same okiya as famous Kyouka (now retired), Satsuki and Sachiho. Well, for me Marika looks a bit like Kyouka ^^
