Omatase

Mitsuhana was my home for a long time, and I grew a lot there.

With the help of my okaahan and many lovely sisters, ofcourse! ^^
Despite my leaving, I want to keep good ties with Mitsuhana still and completely respect that Okiya.

I took a break from Okiya life for about a month before starting again at Arashiyama as a Minarai.
At this point, my old Gion Themed blog has been changed to a more Miyagawa-cho theme.
My life in Hosoi is fun and educational, much like it was at Mitsuhana. My name is Suki once again, (Pronounced Sooki) and my Oneehan is also my Okaahan! Geiko Ayaka has taken me under her wing. At  Arashiyama, I am surrounded by different sisters and am meeting many new friends. I was also able to start a shop called Geigi!
I plan to sell one of a kind Hikizuri but currently only have a bunch of Yukatas. ^^;

Representing Arashiyama for Zashiki-gi

Even inside of the Okiya, I can hear the waves of the ocean crashing at the wall. The air smells more of sea salt and fish than tatami and tea, except inside of the Ochaya. Every morning, if I look around at the rocks on the beach, sometimes I can find some washed up seaweed that I can dry and eat with my rice! And plovers, those horrible birds seem to be everywhere I look. Would you believe one of them stole my Tobako and ate it!? To be fair, I only want to drink the smoke of the kiseru because it is fashionable, though... I don't know if I like the flavor.
Every few days, Usually Thursday, we go to the zashiki and lots of guests come.
Though I am but a Minarai, I am allowed to serve tea and sake. The locals are friendly and come by often to say hi, even the Shogun and the Samurai! It makes me a little nervous because Samurai have a much higher birth than I. But they are more friendly than one would think!

Things will become very exciting quickly. Please keep me in mind and visit me sometime soon! Ookini tanomo ♥ Suki
