January 7 is the first workday of the new year in Kagai. The Maiko House girls are rushing about, preparing for the beginning of work. Sumire has her hair put up, gives Mother a personal New Year's greeting, and gets dressed in a formal black crested kimono worn on celebratory occasions. In the kitchen, Kiyo prepares a special breakfast for this important day, but the maiko must take particular care when eating it.
... and hairpins with rice ear motifs.
ودبابيس شعر تشبه سنابل قمح الأرزّ...
und Haarschmuck mit Reisähren.
