Mitsuhana lantern lighting

After the Odori there was a lantern lighting by the river.

First lanterns floating down the river. Later there were many many more..

Suzuran-san, Tomohana-san and Tsukihana-san looking at the floating lanterns. Reika-san dressed as a miko after great performance.

Suzuran-san bowing to Tomohana-san. One floating lantern can also be seen in the picture.

Us all looking as the maiko and geiko placed the lanterns on the river. You can see a mitsuhana shikomi next to Suzuran-san (in the red kimono)

Ueta-san (Mitsuhana Okaasan, in the blue kimono) also looking at the lantern lighting.

Reika-san as a miko, and Mari-san (Yoshiwara Miko), and Mayumi-san (Yoshiwara Maiko) behind her. I love Mayumi-san's kimono. The pattern is so fresh!

Ayame-san (left) and Suzuran-san (right) looking at the lanterns. I love Ayame-san's clothes, she looks so beautiful!!
