The beer garden has been open from July!
We take turns welcoming guests.
Please stop by when you visit Kyoto.
We are awaiting your arrival!

A joint dance performance was held by the
Gohanamachi (five Hanamachi Geiko districts) at Kyoto Kaikan Hall the other day.
I was very nervous because it was my first time to participate in this event.
Now I feel relieved that I could manage to perform my pieces well.

A Presentation of Nagauta*
was held yesterday.
I joined Kishi-no Yanagi and Matsu-no Midori on the stage.
I was nervous but I am glad that it went well.
I am going to keep practicing hard.

We will start to wear our summer outfits from today.
Maiko and Geiko start wearing summer obi (kimono sash), nagajuban (full-length undergarment),
and some small accessories and hair ornaments in June.
Finally, the day of presenting our Nagauta* is coming!
I am going to try very hard to make my performance great.

I have an opportunity to play shamisen* on stage on June 6.
It is not easy to play the shamisen* as well as I want to,
but I will practice hard until the day of the performance.

I started to have my hair done up in the ofuku* style recently.

I am relieved that we could perform the Kitano Dance well for the audience.
However, I must keep practicing hard for my other performances!

The cherry trees are almost in full blossom in the Kaburenjo Theater Garden.
　The kitano Dance performance will end soon, so I will keep doing my best till the final day.
I appreciate your support.

I am very nervous to perform my dance in front of the audience today.
I will play the taiko drum during the Sanbaso piece
and dance during the Shikunshi and Kamishichiken Yakyoku by rotation.
I hope you can come and see us.
