Expert Profile: Jewel

Expertise: I can answer basic Japanese culture questions. I specialize in answering questions relating to geisha.

Experience in the area
I have read up on a lot of the Japanese culture today. Most of my reading is in geisha, as I have quite a collection of books and art. I also continue to talk with a previous Japanese exchange student, who I speak with about her country often.

Education/Credentials
Degree in nutrition science and high school education.
