ABOUT ME

People who I've met before, said my personality is energetic, positive and curious.

I used to work for a small foreign web marketing company in sales and marketing.

However I finally decided to start working as a full-time geisha last summer.

I have been learning the shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument, for about 5 years. I really love to play it, so at the end of 2009, I started to work as a part-time geisha in Hachioji so that I could play the shamisen in a traditional setting.

However last August, I became a full-time geisha, because it was difficult to become more professional while working only on weekends as a part-time geisha.

By the way, before becoming a geisha, whenever I had free time, I traveled to some countries and stayed in the homes of local families. It was enjoyable to get to know their local culture.
