November 2021: Aoi-tayuu and Tsukasa-tayuu, of Suehiro okiya, reflecting on the importance of choosing one’s seat in a theater, such as the Pontocho Kaburenjo Theatre, wisely when wearing tayuu nihongami. Unlike nihongami worn by Kyoto maiko, tayuu nihongami tends to be taller and wider, which makes it that much more of an obstacle to other patrons.

February 2022: Aoi-tayuu and Tsukasa-tayuu, of Suehiro okiya, posing in costumes for Obake with a bikuni (i.e. Buddhist nun) at the Senbon Enmado at Injo-ji Temple in Kamigyo, Kyoto, Japan.
Obake is a part of Setsubun celebrations where the wearing of outrageous costumes is meant to confuse ghosts who would bring bad luck. On the right, Aoi-tayuu is wearing a costume resembling the character Tsuri Onna from the kabuki play “ Ebisu Môde Koi no Tsuribari,” who is considered to be an ugly woman. On the left, Tsukasa-tayuu is wearing a tiger inspired costume because 2022 is the year of the Tiger.
