The geisha of Asakusa / TOKYO EYE

Hey Everybody,

     It's me Jibkun!  Where I'm from, the ancient forests of Japan, there isn't a lot of what you might call entertainment.  I mean... it's not that it isn't fun. Trees have stories to tell.  Deer slipping on ice is always funny.   And the sun can set over the mountains so gracefully, it brings a tear to your eye.
    So when I saw this episode of Tokyo Eye I was amazed to hear the ancient stories, the hilarious comedy and the eternal beauty of the Geisha.  In a single person is years of history, training, art, music and beauty.  Find out more about these amazing women in the next episode of Tokyo Eye.
     It airs 6/23. Forget memoirs of a Geisha, see how they live today!
