Get the oneesa mug.In the world of geisha, the word onesan (pronounced oh-neh-sahn) means 'older sister'. Every maiko (apprentice geisha) has an onesan. When a maiko has her misedashi (formal debut) she goes through san san kudo. San san kudo is a binding ceremony, where a maiko and geiko (geisha) are legally bound as sisters. A maiko's onesan gives her advice and helps her in the complicated world of geisha. A maiko's onesan is always in the same hanamachi (geisha district).
Right now I am only a minarai, but when I have my misedashi, I will be formally bound with my onesan.

Get the Onesia mug.Oneida is one of the prettiest girls in the world, and she smiles so bright, Heaven is jealous. When you get an Oneida to be your friend, thank the Lord because she will be the kindest, sweetest, smartest, funniest, most loyal, most beautiful person you will ever meet. Although they are known sometimes have attitude and to want to win arguments just for fun, Oneida will still be just as good a friend they have always been in the end, and they will realize that there is no point in arguing with you if you are good friends who are free to have your own opinions.

Get the Oneida mug.Oneida is a small city in New York. Every walk of life lives here. Many people on the north side are burnouts, prostitutes and scumbags. The normal and classier people live on the South and West side of Oneida. The Oneida Heights is where doctors, teachers, foreigners, and people with loads of inherited money live. Everything is within walking distance. There are few things to do in Oneida; movies, shop in select stores and eat in the menagerie of fast food joints on Route 5. Oneida Silversmiths produced all silverware and china. Received it's name from the Oneida Indian Tribe. Near the Turning Stone Casino. John Humphrey Noyes created the utopia called the Oneida Community.
What do you do for fun?
-Nothing, I live in Oneida.
Where did you get your silverware?
-From Oneida SilverSmiths
