Taro which has been in business for 30 years serving authentic Japanese
food is going to be a memorable one. Performers will be wearing very
expensive kimonos and jewelleries which are exclusive to them.” Praveen
added.
In love with Japan
Fiona Graham will
lead the four-member team at the performance. Fiona made headlines
around the world when she became the first westerner geisha. “I was only
15 when I first visited Japan. I was an exchange student and the plan
was to experience life with a Japanese family and go to school there for
a year. I knew nothing about Japan before going and I couldn’t speak
the language, but as soon as I moved in with my Japanese family in
Tokyo, I loved it,” she said.
