Furisode Debut: Tsuyu-chan

About a week or two ago, Tsuyu-chan had her formal debut as a furisode shinzo of Shinmachi! As with Umeko-chan's debut before her, there were a few geisha on hand to entertain while Tsuyu-chan and I prepared for her big moment. My computer and the region of Aosagi were not getting along well that day, so I was unable to take pictures. However, James-sama was able to take these amazing pictures which far exceeded anything I could have taken! 

After we walked along the path surrounding the Yukaku Ryukin, we arrived at the performance venue. In the background you can see the dance platform: a floating island in the middle of the Yukaku Ryukin's lake.

Plum Rain danced to a series of poems concerning the beauty which flows from a summer rain on top of the floating island. Weather can be so unpredictable and it actually rained a few times during the performance! We're tough though and continued on; our patrons were nice and dry as they had umbrellas as gifts from Tsuyu-chan and Umeko-chan. 

The performance ended just at sunset. It was a beautiful day and I want to send out a huge thanks to James-sama for taking such amazing pictures.
