[Hello-Nippon.net]Kyoto Geisha Miehina Interview

How did you start?
My house was originally a tea shop, and my mother told me that if you are going to become a Maiko, you have all of my support. I always liked my lessons. I thought I will give it a try. I told my mother that I will become a Maiko, and I have been a Maiko ever sense

@Akashia14Moka She's absolutely wonderful. She's in my top ten geisha. ^^ Kikuyu-han out ranks everyone however, because she helped me in so many ways without even knowing she has. Kikuyu-han, Ichimame-han, Miehina-han, and several others have all been on my list of favorites for a long while now. :)

Wow, Miehina-han looks wonderful in this as a geiko-han, I loved her pictures as a maiko-han as well. I did notice an issue with what was said in this by the narratort. Maiko-han are the only geisha that style their hair while "on duty". Geiko-han wear katsura, which are wigs made of real hair that are styled in the Takashimada. The only time their real hair is styled is when they are "off duty" and in everyday clothes. Their would be too short for styling, it's cut the day before their erikae.

SHe seems so nice and humble (and not to mention very skilled).

Ahh, superb! Miehina-san is such a lovely person! And such a lovely geiko-san, too! And she is so modest about her singing. ^.^ She is very "iki" and I hope she stays for quite a while!

OMG! she is perfect. since maiko are apprentice and still learning *but still great* i do see more grace in this geikos movements. i wish i knew her words she is saying...but it's ok. i love her singing and dancing!

[Fishroads]

[Akashia14Moka]

OMG,she loves singing at shamisen...Weird I though she loves dance after so many years of dancing as maiko :-) I wonder if she'll become a jikata geiko one day after she practice her shamisen skills :-) Miehina is my favourite Geiko from Miyagawa-cho
