Karyukai News -Umekana (梅叶菜) of Umeno (梅乃) in Kamishichiken had her misedashi on Monday (9/26). It’s been a bit slow on major news this week ^^; Blog News -What’s In a Book? Part 15 looked at The Alluring World of Maiko and Geiko by Judith Clancy. -A new tab, Anatomy of Maiko and Geiko, launched. It is still under construction but most of the maiko information is complete. -A new feature known as Mylo’s Pick of the Week was started to share the photographic talents of @gaaplite. The fist picture is that of Marika (茉理佳) of Tsurui (つる居) in Gion Kobu. -More terms were added to the Karyukai Glossary due to the influx of new words from the “Anatomy” tab. There are now 113 entries in the glossary with an additional 5 being found among certain entries to better understand their meaning.
