The Geisha house visited by the Blogs was over 200 years old and now functions as a museum. Which is just as well. As a functioning Geisha house it drew its clients from only the highest ranks of society and admittance was based on trust with guests required to have a sponsor. Without its new status as a museum the Blogs might not have been let in.
These high-end customers expected high-end entertainment, which, if the Blogs had ever been let in, Mrs Blog was ready to provide.
She was invited by the owner of the musem to try out a Shamisen. The Shamisen is a type of Japanese banjo made up of a small wooden drum, a broomstick, three strings and some clothes pegs. Despite the obvious differences to western guitars, Mrs Blog knocked out a more then passable rendition of Clapton's "Lay down Sally".
