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.
Evoking a sense of home with the aroma
of homemade curry is impermissible.
تحريض إحساس الحنين للديار برائحة
الكاري المُحضّر منزليّاً غير مسموح
Es darf also nicht mit dem Aroma von
selbst gemachtem Curry Heimweh aufkommen.
El aroma hogareño del curry
El aroma casero del curry,
Il est donc interdit
Rievocare sensazioni familiari con l'aroma 
del curry fatto in casa sarebbe imperdonabile.
Não é permitido que os homens
lembrem-se de suas casas
Нельзя, чтобы запах домашнего
карри навеял воспоминания о доме.
