Nikkei profiles Sayuki, Japan’s first Western Geisha

June 7, 2008
By Ken Worsley


Actually, the Nikkei published this on May 12, but I missed it. At any rate, it is one of those rare articles that the Nikkei has made available for free in English, and it’s worth a read. Sayuki is an Australian who has become the first Westerner accepted as a geisha.

Sayuki’s own site is here.

    Does anyone know the name of the “financial institution” referred to in the article? I assume it’s a domestic company. Just curious…

    The answer to the above question will not be publicly posted.

Got something to say?
