Hey everyone. I'm working on several projects that I'd like to cross-post both [url]Tsurukomaiko.freeforums.org[/url] and on my site, http://www.ikimaru.com. Those are the only two places with permission to post this information, if anyone sees it posted elsewhere please notify me or a TM mod immediately.

Photos must be given credit where credit it due, and permission granted from the photographer. The picture of the mon must be clear. If it is a full length picture of say, the back on an obi, RJ of Ana's Ikimaru will digitally crop and edit the photo. Eventually, the photos will be edited to all match for uniformity.

Credit for these efforts is given to both Tsuruko Maiko Forums and Ana's Ikimaru, and those who have provided photos. To be used for educational research purposes only, and not for financial gain.
