KANAZAWA GEISHA
We decided to go to
the Spring Geisha Show in the geisha district of Kanazawa. It was held in an
old geisha house now also used as a teahouse. The event took place in the
evening starting with a warm welcome from the elder geisha, the matron of the
house. The audience sat on pillows in front of a small stage upon which stood a solitary golden screen. The two house geishas sang and played a shamisen, or Japanese 3-stringed guitar
and a taiko drum. The younger geisha
also danced gracefully in the traditional form.
