❁Okiya Name: Hanayuu ❁Owner/Okaasan: Geiko Chayuu (bridgit5.resident) ❁This okiya represents the Kamishichiken district of Kyoto. ❁Type: Highly Traditional ❁Okiya Ranks: Aspirant-Shikomi-Minarai-Junior Maiko-Senior Maiko-Geiko ❁Geiko are women of art that focus largely on learning things such as music,dance,and conversation. ❁Applicants should note that training takes many years. In our okiya you may need to purchase books and other information on Asian culture and the geiko/geisha world. This is not something we provide finanacial aide for. ❁The okiya DOES provide finanacial aide (second life aide) for students that reach the shikomi stage of training. ❁The okiya accepts three new trainees at a time. If a trainee leaves the okiya or becomes a geiko/geisha a new slot is opened for a trainee. ❁General Rules ❁Applicants must be at least 18 years of age in real life. They must also be real life female. ❁Applicants should be aware this job is all encompassing. Once a trainee is enmeshed inside of the culture it is expected they act and behave a set way.Most can not use the same account for other roleplay or outside work. ❁Applicants can not be part of another okiya or be involved in any sexual based services. ❁Applicants may not have a partner listed on their profie. All profiles need to be family friendly, and will likely be changed to fit the okiya's needs and look. ❁Applicants need to be prepared to assist with their own finanaces. While the okiya at times can cover full expenses their are cases where real life or something else interferes. ❁Applicants should be able to work around the EST time zone or slt+3 hours. We are often most active in the evening hours. ❁Applicants should be able to come online frequently throughout the week and set time aside for lessons and studying. Pay/Tips ❁Trainees that have full financial coverage from the okiya can expect tips will go back to the okiya to pay for your expenses. Most will not make a full wage until after they become geiko when only a percentage (usually 15%) of all tips and booking fees will go to the okiya. ❁Trainees with only partial okiya assistance may receive a portion of their tips. At least 50% of their tips and private booking fee is given back to the okiya. ❁Those trainees covering their own finanacial needs only provide a stipend of 10% of all private event bookings and tip fees to the okiya. They usually maintain their own tip jar at events and get to keep the remainder. ❁As a side note only geiko or fully trained members make a profit off their private booking fee. Maiko and younger members are expected to give the booking fee to the okiya. Young trainees can ask the Okaasan to okay a private booking but, can not accept without permission first. Please contact the Okaasan (bridgit5.resident) if you are interested in joining our okiya. Thank you.
