In Gion Kobu it’s very likely Tama and Tsurui - not only are they really wealthy houses but they also have a history and they acquired many interesting older pieces as well as some new/contemporary ones that are very attention catching to people who understand the kimono ways. In Kamishichiken it’s probably Nakasato because it seems to be the most well-off okiya at the moment and other houses seem to be often selling parts of their wardrobe to pay out other things I assume but we don’t know about that. So in tl;dr: Tama and Tsurui (might even put in Nishimura) / Nakasato.
