cigarettes, and a great variety of china and crockery ware,Japanese cooking utensils, such as copper pans, charcoalbrasiers, in fact, almost no end of variety in small wares.Many articles are laid on the street for inspection. Somany Japanese lamps make everything as light as day; thefestival seems to be the great opportunity to display andsell goods. No one will ask you to buy unless you stopand ask the price. These small shops are often attended byan old woman, young girl or boy, very few of whom canspeak English, but all are anxious to learn it. It was cer-tainly an interesting sight to walk up and down this crowdedstreet. Near the end of the street was a Shinto temple,lit up with candles and paper lanterns; we climbed a flight ofsteps to the second story, which was the main part of thetemple. There was no idol in sight, but there was a Japboy with a gong and drum-stick. Whenever anyone tosseda coin on the straw matting before the temple, the boywould strike the gong a heavy whack

Geisha are traditional, female Japanese entertainers of the "Flower and Willow World", shrouded in secrecy and mystery. Geisha skills include performing various ancient Japanese arts regarding music, song, dance, tea ceremony, calligraphy, flower arranging, poetry and the art of conversation. In Japan, geisha are the ultimate hostess and class of entertainment. Geisha are hailed as the very icons of Japanese social grace and etiquette. They have existed for over 400 years, yet their elegant appearance has remained timeless and unchanged in the present world.
