Geisha in Kyoto

Perhaps my regular readers have noticed that my blogging has become quite irregular recently and I apologize. Fact is that I've been sick for nearly two weeks. The medicine the doctor gave me makes my head seem like it is in the clouds... Powerful stuff (that doesn't seem to work!)

Nevertheless, I want to put something up for you everyday. Here is something interesting that I found. It is a geisha performance from the Internet Archives that is described as:

Mameyoshi recently became a geisha in the Gion district of Kyoto. She was a maiko until recently. She became a shamisen geisha and this is her first performance for us. Originally posted on joi.ito.com.

Enjoy! (Sorry about the police in the background - they are only there for a minute, please be patient!)

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
