The Geisha of Asakusa (Part 2) on TOKYO EYE

By Jib-kun,
    I don't know if you caught last weeks episode of Tokyo Eye.  I certainly did.  It was an amazing look into the life of real Geisha living and working in modern day Tokyo.  Well, this week check out part two!  This weeks episode focuses on the old neighborhood of Asakusa.  Lots of traditional Japanese arts, products, foods, and crafts can be found in this neighborhood. So of course it is a popular place for Geisha too.
