Osaka Maiko Chiyoha 1910 (by Blue Ruin1)
Maiko (Apprentice Geisha) Chiyoha of Osaka, later known as Geisha Teruha in Tokyo.
She was the imouto (little sister) of the famous Yachiyo I. Considered to have a wild and impetuous temperament Chiyoha left Osaka under a cloud, and debuted as Teruha in the Shinbashi hanamachi (geisha district) of Tokyo in 1911, still only fifteen years old.
