Geisha Banquet and dinner with Sayuki, Japan's first foreigner Geisha

[ClaudiaVampiria]

sayki went to Japan first time when she was 15.. So she didn't grow there.

That was pretty awesome. I'd like to know the name of the song playing in the background.

Sayuki still works as a geisha together with geisha from around Tokyo and including some from Asakusa too. You can contact her on sayuki.net.

She's a beginner on the shamisen and singing. But she played the flute for many years before she changed to Japanese flute so that is her main art.

There are plenty of Japanese American opera singers. Sayuki grew up in Japan. Why shouldn't she participate in the culture she grew up in just like Japanese Americans participate in American society?
