Hello, I'm Kerry. I live in Toledo, Ohio and perform in various local venues such as Tea Houses, and my cities Art Museum. At these locations I talk about kimono, geisha, and traditional japanese culture inside the pleasure quaters.

I have a little website / blog that lists my events, and includes a few photos. My blog will grow over time :)

I've heard of a few people doing similar work as mine, however in such they pose as geisha - I however do not.

If you have a website, or a blog and would like to trade links with mine, I would love to :)

http://ohiokimono.wordpress.com/ - my blog / site.

I have had offers to make money, however I turn down such offers. Really, I dont perform for cash. Rather, I like to trade services.

An example would be..I do an event at a tea house, in exchange for 2 free meals at a later date.
