In the middle: a photo of Aoi-tayuu during her Tayuu Debut in 2014, age 27, at the Shimogamo Shrine. On the right: a photo of Aoi-tayuu during an ozashiki in June, which likely makes her about 33-34.
September 2018: Minarai Umesana (Umeno Okiya) of Kamishichiken has just made her official debut as a Minarai! Her Misedashi will take in late October, shortly after her sister Umenana.
The Kawahia Okiya from Miyagawacho has debuted a new Minarai! Her name is Kanasue (叶季) and her Misedashi will take place in 4 to 6 weeks. This is already the second girl Kawahisa will be debuting this year, which is rare, since they are a pretty small okiya. It’s looking good for them!
