Kaguyama's Tayuu Debut Recap

This evening 
on Heavenly Kagu Mountain, 
the mist is trailing. 
It seems that spring has ended.

front of the Nekkido Theater.

This past week, we had the distinct honor of celebrating the debut of Kaguyama-san, the newest tayuu of the Shinmachi District. Please enjoy these few pictures of the momentous event and be sure to congratulate the new tayuu on her hard work and accomplishments. 

Sponsor Event: Fuubutsu- Dou Ozashiki
During this ozashiki, held in the beautiful Fuubutsu- Dou sim, we served sake, chatted with a few good friends, enjoyed a lovely performance and played a fun game of Yakuza.

Rai-sama's head is blocking the view of the other guests!

You can see Kaguyama-san's ohaguro here.

Onsen Event
No pictures were taken during this clothing optional event. We had a lot of fun hanging out in Keisei's amazing onsen (really, it's the best in SL), and even got in a game of truth or dare. I can't wait until we hold another event just like it - just to give us another reason to gather and enjoy the hot springs.

Sponsor Event: Bamboo Cutter for Sengoku
Kaguyama and Six-chan worked together to organize the Bamboo Cutter performance for the Sengoku Teahouse. Kaguyama-san designed an amazing stage for her solo dance while Six-chan did a great job providing music on her koto.

I absolutely love the way she transformed the teahouse!

Parade and Formal Debut
The debut ended with a formal oiran dochu (the courtesan's slow parade) and a two part performance in Nekkido. In this case, pictures speak louder than words regarding the awesome spectacle that is a high ranked courtesan's debut.

He had the best view of the dochu!

Here's a far shot of the oiran dochu.

A much closer shot. Six-chan is in front, holding
Kaguyama-san's tabako-bon. Mase-san provides a
shoulder for Kaguyama-san to lean on as she does the 

difficult figure 8 step. Fuu-chan and I trail in behind her. 

Kaguyama-san takes center stage during the two
part performance.

An amazing shot of daytime fireworks!

And night time fireworks to end the celebration!
