J-COLLABO Presents
Geisha performance in Manhattan and Brooklyn
By Geisha Kikuno
J-COLLABO, the New York based venue for Japanese art and culture is pleased to announce a very special event. Famed Nara Geisha Kikuno is coming to NYC to demonstrate this ancient artform. The first performance will take place on September 6 at Globus Washitsu, but the maximum capacity is 50 guests by invitation only. Please contact us if you are interested in the VIP event. The second performance will take place at J-LABO in Brooklyn on September 7 collaborating with multimedia director Kenji Williams.
Geisha history spans over 300 years. Their beauty and grace is legendary as is their exceptional skill in music, dance and entertainment. In spite of a near worldwide fascination, the number of Geisha is decreasing year by year. Geisha Kikuno is a unique Geisha from Osaka. She is dedicated to finding new approaches to promote Geisha history to the next generation.
