I was helping the son with his high school entrance exams, which he passed.<br />They lived in an apartment near the Parliament building. The mother seemed to have acquaintances with politicians, too.<br />On one hand, they live in a modern society. There is a geisha union, too. On the other hand, she was so serious about learning about the ancient skills of dancing.<br />Her life seemed to be in harmony, though.Muravejhttp://muravej.jp/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355923046579889657.post-39576743169741240832010-10-12T18:27:02.258+10:302010-10-12T18:27:02.258+10:30Thnx for sharing that Muravej... it must have been...Thnx for sharing that Muravej... it must have been a very interesting experience. It must have been a good experience... although I have to admit that we often don't see the other side of the make-up.<br /><br />I'm sure she (and her son) had an amazing story to tell as well. Did you maintain contact?<br /><br />I don't often think of Geisha as mothers, let alone single mothers, but I suppose that says more about myself than the reality of being a Geisha.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245689060247741542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355923046579889657.post-58880042644738882112010-10-12T14:05:14.104+10:302010-10-12T14:05:14.104+10:30Both of you are great photographers!
Talking abou...Both of you are great photographers!<br /><br />Talking about geishas, I used to tutor a boy in Tokyo, whose mother was a single-mother Akasaka geisha (Geishas are in Tokyo, too). I was invited to a performance like yours, too.<br />Surprisingly, and so surprisingly, she had connections with many presidents of major Japanese companies. I even had lunch with some of them.<br /><br />It was an interesting experience.Muravejhttp://muravej.jp/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355923046579889657.post-89027831581157760832010-10-11T07:24:48.030+10:302010-10-11T07:24:48.030+10:30Definitely something to consider when planning you...Definitely something to consider when planning your trip next year.
