Kiyo's day revolves around cooking and nourishing the maiko. In the morning, she gets ready quietly so as not to disturb the sleeping maiko, makes breakfast and goes grocery shopping after seeing the maiko off. Mid-day, she prepares lunch for the maiko who have returned from lessons, preps ingredients and serves supper to the maiko before they leave for entertaining. At evening time, Kiyo cleans up before going to the public bath and takes a stroll enjoying Kyoto at night.
"Kyoto has its very own, itoko soup."
"لدى كيوتو حساؤها الخاص، حساء إيتوكو"
„In Kyoto gibt es die doch
sehr eigene Itoko-Suppe.“
Puis, chez nous,
"E poi c'è la zuppa itoko 
che è quella tipica di Kyoto."
"E aqui, em Kyoto, tem uma
sopa chamada itoko."
«А здесь, в Киото,
есть свой собственный суп итоко.
