Matsuchiyo - The Life of a Geisha

My best friend, Ken Nishikawa, who I often make music videos and documentaries with, has just completed a one-hour long documentary about the life of one of Japan's last true Geisha. 

私の友人、西川ケンさんが制作した芸者のドキュメンタリーです。お楽しみください！

Matsuchiyo circa 1965

The film is entitled, "Matsuchiyo - The Life of a Geisha" and is scheduled to premiere at film festivals later this year. Please enjoy the trailer.

I was proud to be able to help Ken out in a very small way with this wonderful and fascinating film. 

Matsuchiyo was one of the top geisha in Japan. Here she is with 

Hollywood Movie-star Edward G. Robinson in the 1950s

I'll be linking to the full length film as soon as some items concerning publishing rights, etc. are cleared. This is a fantastic film, folks!

Enjoy!
