Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki: Set in Gion, Kyoto, around a hanamachi district where geisha live and work.
Kiyo Nozuki (Nana Mori) and her childhood friend Sumire Herai (Natsuki Deguchi) moved to Kyoto from Aomori to become maiko (an apprentice geisha). Kiyo Nozuki has yet to become a maiko due to her personality, which moves at her own pace, and a lack of talent. Instead, she makes meals for the girls at the Maiko House. Meanwhile Sumire Herai became a maiko and works under the name of Momohana. The two are the closest of friends and rely on each other.
