The culture of geishas rooted in Sumida's red-light district, Mukojima, which has flourished since the Edo period, and the geisha culture based in Sumida.
A unique collaboration featuring a string quartet performed by members of New Japan Philharmonic.
A valuable concert that fuses the different cultures of Japan and the West is here!
Kenban (kenban = office that arranges and practices geishas) is rarely open to the public, and is luxurious.
Enjoy your time.

Mukojima Bokutsumi Association
The Mukojima Bokutsumi Association is an association formed by the 11 restaurants on Mukojima and the 80 or so geishas who serve there.They communicate on a daily basis and hold presentations of the Mukaijima geisha's performance called ``Mukojima Odori.'' We manage various events such as geisha teahouses and cherry blossom viewing parties.
The building where this association's office is located is called ``Kenban,'' and in Mukojima, it is given the kanji ``Kenban.''
This observation hall also has a large hall with a stage covered with curtains, where geishas practice Japanese dance, long songs, Kiyomoto, flute, and taiko drums. Website
