This past Saturday we celebrated the debut of Umeko-chan. While the event was supposed to begin right on time, the oiran and the new furisode were late. It's a good thing a couple of geisha were on hand to offer entertainment until they could arrive!
After the courtesans arrived, the geisha took a seat, allowing Umeko-chan to be the focus of everyone's attention. You can see the geisha above, seated at the first table on the left.
The purple of her obi is meant to signify not only her name, but her role in the story as the spirit of the plum tree. It was truly a beautiful performance!
One final picture! You can see the beauty of her kanzashi and the intricacy of her hair and makeup here. It was so exciting to be a part of her debut as a furisode shinzo! I can't wait until Thursday when another one of our furi-shin's makes her debut!
