UK - London - Geisha collecting for Japanese Red Cross

Wearing the traditional kimono, a middle-aged geisha lady from the 'Minamoto Kitchoan' store collects money from westerners in London on behalf of the Japanese Red Cross Tsunami appeal. While standing in the street on Picadilly, in the heart of Westminster, an English gentleman stoops to organise the contents of his briefcase. Originally, the Geisha were traditional, female Japanese entertainers whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance. Such a scene is unusual on a London street but the tsunami disaster encouraged many ex-patriate Japanese to collect money from Europeans for their countrymen.
