Saturday morning, I assisted at what I think was an impromptu ozashiki.  Played some shamisen, played some biwa, and generally helped out however I could.

 Kazumi-neesan, a tayuu of great beauty.

and little ol' me, Tsukiko the kamuro.  Playing my brand new biwa.

a kamuro and a tayuu

Under one of my alternate second life accounts, I joined the Matsubaya Ageya, as the kamuro Tsukiko.  The proprietress, Tsukuyomi-neesama, has taken me as one of her attendants.

Here are some photos from today, sitting by the stream with Kazumi-neesan, one of the tayuu of Matsubaya.
