My sister Kumiko-san joined me intime for an Ochaya opening but sadly no-one came. It must have been too early.
After she left, I visited Japan Project Garden for a photoshoot and came across someone who was new to SL that day.
He IM'd me right away asking me what a Geisha does...he was a little biased after all the hearsay that goes on in the western world...even in some parts of Japan where lots don't actually know of the Geisha and their occupation.
We sat quietly in one of the rooms and had a nice chat, where I educated him a little about the Geiko and Maiko. Of what we do and how we do it.
After this, I went back to Arakawa and visited the shrine to donate some Yen and pray to Ame No Uzume, our shrine to the God of Dawn and Revelry.
Picking up the heavy bachi, I bashed the gong after paying my respects in lindens.
nice sunset, and you are a very good educator on geishas, I know you cleared my mind on a few things about them.
