Playing with a geisha
It was seven years ago because I became a correspondent for the first time, but it was seven years ago, but let's play with the geisha while eating in Ningyocho with titles such as "Kayamachi Geisha and Ozashiki Play". The tourist association had formed a plan for the correspondent. Unfortunately, I was unable to participate without any inconvenience at that time, but this time a company called "Shinhiya" in Hisamatsucho holds a "Geisha and Ozashiki Play" every Saturday at "Hashirakutei" on the third floor of "Coredo Muromachi 3".
On this day, the cube (geisha) are Hisatomi (right toward the photo) and Ichimatsu (left).
The two people who are in charge of the shamisen and singing in the region.
The moderator was Shinnichiya, and today's English interpreter was a New Zealand woman (sometimes they are in kimono in Nihonbashi Guide), and two interpreter guides from the tourist association were assisted. Was.
First of all, it started with a geisha's dance-"Oedo Nihonbashi". As expected, there are only Kayamachi Geisha, and many local place names such as "Kiyosubashi", "Hamacho", "Meijiza" and "Kayamachi" are sung in the lyrics.
Next is to play a parlor.
Today's customers were 2 British men, 1 Norwegian man, 2 Japanese women and 2 men, for a total of 7 people (it seems that there are about 20 people when there are many). I was able to challenge all the play.
First of all, "Toratora." After dancing by dividing the gap with a folding screen, play rock-paper-scissors in poses.
Wa Tonai (Samurai) - Spear Pose: Win the tiger and lose to the old lady
Tiger-Crawling Pose: Win the old woman and lose to the samurai
Grandma - Pose with a bent waist and a cane: Win a samurai (because he is a samurai's mother) and loses to a tiger
Next, "Suggestion"-Stand a butterfly (tar) on a pillow (table), sit down about 1m away, throw the fan in front of the "needs" and hit the butterfly. Originally, we competed for scores based on the shape of the fan, butterflies, and pillows after throwing, but today we simply competed in a butterfly hit or a hall. It takes a lot of tricks to throw a fan softly.
The last is "Konpira Funefune". On the table with Tokuri and beer hakama turned over, open your hand when there is a hakama in order according to the song of "Konpirafune", and when there is no (take the hakama when pulling your hand) It is a game to put your hand in goo.
If it lasts for a long time, the speed of the song will gradually increase and become more difficult.
I was drinking "Hakkaisan" as a "punishable cup" because Ichimatsu's sister lost to Norway. However, it seems that some people are looking forward to receiving a punishment cup. (If you can't drink it, you can get a Senju tag sticker.)
If you win the game, you can get "Ningyocho Handkerchief" or old-fashioned "paper soap".
Finally, look at the geisha's dance again, take a commemorative photo with the geisha, and open it.
If you think of geisha play while eating at a luxury restaurant, the threshold is high, but here you can have a very enjoyable hospitality. It takes about 1 hour in total.
