About Jina
When I was a little girl, I wanted to look like Barbie and hang out with Uncle Scrooge on his wild adventures around the world. I also loved fairy tales and dreamed of being a dancing princess and a geisha. I revved up my mojo and embarked on my madcap scheme when I was a kid, attending numerous parochial schools across the country and driving the nuns crazy, including the good Sisters of Mercy. After graduating from college in Languages (French and German), I joined the U.S. Army entertainment division. I was stationed in Germany and then Italy. When I returned to the States, I enrolled in graduate school in the masters program. In grad school, I got a job as a "companion girl" to Japanese businessmen, but my most exciting Japanese adventures were yet to come. I was a tour guide at Universal Studios and gave the tour in German, a fun job showing around German tourists, who inevitably wouldn't volunteer for the stunts on the soundstage. I had to "fly" like Superman while speaking German. I wrote a video game which gave me an entrée into writing animation and working with the Japanese again. I'd learned to speak "male" Japanese from the cameramen, so I received a lot of attention from the Japanese directors working on my scripts. Those were fun days--and revved up my interest in Japan and kimono. I studied the art of kimono with a sensei, teacher, whose family has been in the kimono biz in Kyoto for four hundred years. I put together my passion for art and fairy princesses. I decided geisha were fairy princesses. If I couldn't be one, I'd write about them. First, I wrote business books about working for the Japanese--something I knew well. From my companion girl days to doing Japanese commercials to working for a Japanese movie studio as a writer, I understood their nuances, way of thinking, even the intricacies of bowing. "The BLONDE GEISHA" became my passion. I wanted to tell the story of becoming a geisha in 1895 Japan from a Westerner's point of view.
