The only remaining Hakata Kenban in Fukuoka
There are only two remaining Kenban (geisha management office) in Kyushu, one in Nagasaki and one in Hakata.
The origins of the Hakata geisha can be traced back to the Edo period, when geisha from Osaka were invited to teahouses in Nagasaki. This stay was stipulated to last no more than 100 days, however, the number of permanent residents increased as they were able to earn money in the area.
