| お茶屋 Teahouse, or Geisha-house, or Geisha-teahouse Explanation: There was a Hollywood movie called "Teahouse of August". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049830/ Translation was 八月十五日の茶屋, it is clearly talking about Geisha House. Geisha House is also an elaborate teahouse where guests are entertained by Geish girls, and do their important business negotiations. The third is my recommendation. Pretty soon a movie "Memoir of a Geisha" by Steven Spilburg (spell?) will be released, then this Japanese teahouse will be even more internationally known. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 21 mins (2005-11-17 18:10:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Mojibake --- 曙ﾜ日 is meant for Ju-go nichi.

What did you say in your additional note? I do not see anything. |

| お茶屋 Ochaya-san = teahouse Explanation: Ochaya-san = teahouse -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 52 mins (2005-11-17 17:41:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ochaya-san is a traditional teahouse in Kyoto. It's quite different from a room or house where Japanese elegantly have a way of tea. It’s a house where people used to have a Japanese-style party, invite a geisha girl and enjoy seeing her entertainment. See the links below: http://www.h2.dion.ne.jp/‾kyoko21/kyokosessay.htm http://www.kcif.or.jp/en/newsletter/lik/archives/12_2002.htm http://p-www.iwate-pu.ac.jp/‾acro-ito/Japan_pics/Japan_KYE/imageidx.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 55 mins (2005-11-17 17:44:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.itsuzai.net/kkd/contens/seiryucyaya.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 50 mins (2005-11-17 18:39:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For Humbird: I am not used to refuse collegues'comments...but this time I have to. In my answer I never refer to "tea cerimony"!!! I think that when I said (in my "transparent" added note) "It's quite different from a room or house where Japanese elegantly have a way of tea. It’s a house where people used to have a Japanese-style party, invite a geisha girl and enjoy seeing her entertainment" I was clearly referring to entertainment places where no cerimonies are held! |
