Mega sale on ebay!

Just a quick post.
I've got a HEAP of things on ebay right now, most of them are also in my Etsy shop but there's a few different things.
I've put a handful of obidome up for auction too just to see if there's any interest in them.

Here are a few things up for auction now:

Real Geisha Real Women- Documentary by Peter MacIntosh and a short dvd with dances from the Kyo Odori and the Mizuekai.

Two KIE magazines.

Light pink kiku obidome. I need to photograph them better  :/

Gion Photo book, lots of pretty pictures! 

So please have a look if your interest at My eBay.

I'll try to post again soon, some of my other obidome designs are starting to look really good!

Kamogawa odori uploads and random YJA finds.

I still have that massive pile to odori programs to scan and upload....
I had forgotten about them as I've been trying to sell lots of stuff lately so my craft/kimono room is so un organised as there's stuff everywhere to be photographed/description written etc so I really haven't had a chance to do the odori programs.
But today I uploaded all the Kamogawa odori I had ready:

 1978

 1979

   1979

 1980

 1981

 1982

Here is the Kamogawa folder of my Flickr if you wish to view any of these.

I browse YJA nearly every day. Its a bit sad but its a habit that I haven't shaken from when I was seriously intensely collection odori programs and maiko things.
Although I use it now for finding lolita clothing I still search for maiko and kimono things.
So here's some interesting goodies I found:

Some really nice black and white postcards.

These are still pretty cheap at the moment. Given that I think that's Momotaro in there these would date from around the Taisho era, on ebay you would buy each individually for $30 (or more or less depending if the seller who their stuff) 

All really pretty, if I had found these even a few months ago I would buy them.

No idea what this magazine is actually called.... but I do actually own this so you can see the scans on my Flickr if you wanted to know what it contained before buying.

More Taisho postcards. Again, I'm kinda tempted to buy these but I probably won't.
Still very cheap at the moment, with 3 days to go. I've seen auctions like this before where they might end at 8,000 yen or more.

Well that's all for now :)

Yet more odori uploads

These are my last uploads for a while: as I'm all square on the scanning front, no more to do!
Until my others arrive from Noppin that is....

Anyway:

Kyo odori:

1952 Kyo

1955 Kyo

1958 Kyo

1929 Kamogawa

1961 Miyako

1964 Miyako

Done!

Gion odori time! (祇園をどり)

So Gion Higashi (East Gion) isn't as large/popular as Gion Kobu, why I don't know. Gion Higashi is a Hanamachi (flower town) that there isn't much information about, past and present.
I only have a few Gion Odori programs in my collection as I don't see them for sale very often.
Today I'm uploading some early Gion odori:

7th Gion odori-1961
8th Gion odori-1962
11th Gion odori-1965
24th Gion odori-1980

Here is the folder with all my other Gion odori programs, enjoy!
