A Geisha in New York

A Japanese geisha has been teaching New York about the ancient art of her profession.

Komomo, which means Little Peach, danced, sang and signed copies of her book titled "A Geisha's Journey" for curious onlookers in an art gallery and book store.

The book consists of a series of essays and photographs taken by Naoyuki Ogino, who started documenting Komomo's transition into a geisha when she was fifteen years old.
