Hisano, now the second highest ranking maiko in Pontocho, dances with the official flower of Kamogawa Odori: Wisteria.
The town of Otsu (Omi Province, now Shiga Prefecture), is famous for a painting of wisteria maidens that comes to life as the traveling geiko reach the first stop on their way to Edo.
The geiko Aya steps out of the painting to perfrom the dance of the wisteria maidens with Hisacho and Ichimame.

beautiful captures Melissa! ^-^
i noticed Hisano is wearing Hisamari's obidome (i mean, i always saw her wearing it...)
Good eye Marisa! Hisamari was her older sister. I guess as the senior maiko in the house she gets all the goods (^-^) It is lovely, isin`t it?
