Guided Outing by Oto

Hello,I am OTO and listening  to "The Rolling Stones".
My mood is rock in this PM.

I enjoyed outing together with our guest  yesterday.
our guest wanted having dinner but only we have 50 min  for it.(3hours course,make-over,guided outing only.)
I've got some suggestions on restaurants nearby to salon,and finaly she decided to go to Thai-food restaurant .
Her reason was not what she'd like , only for her make-up.For example,the steam in the hotpot will break down  her makeup...
How sweet heart she has!  I'm a woman but never think of that ,only for my stomach what it wants to..
Of course , I requested a mild taste in the Thai food restaurant for her  and we enjoyed chatting  as female friend.
Foods was perfect but she didn't eat so much so I aked her why?
She said "when I changed to woman, my stomach also changes to woman's stomach"
How,How, How, sweet heart she has ! I'm a woman but I have a stomach as a man........
Incidentally, her fashion coordinate was beige suit(salon), black boots (salon/easy to walk even men) with white clutch bag(salon). It was Perfect.

Tonight also have guided outing course.(6hour course, make-over,guided outing, make-off)
Maybe, We will go to china-town by the ship and hanging out somewhere.
I am wondering she will love it.

I 'm here in Yokohama for almost 12years. Yokohama is like my garden.
I hope to guide you in my favorite city ,YOKOHAMA.

have a sweet princess time!

OTO.

Greeting from Artemis. by Kaede

Kaede’s Dream


Hello.
 I am Kaede Mizuha, the owner of Crossdressing service & Photo studio salon ‘Artemis’ (since 2003) in Yokohama, Japan.

I am Kaede Mizuha, the owner of one-on-one Crossdressing service & Photo studio ‘the Salon Artemis’ (since 2003) in Yokohama, Japan.


I have desired to spread my thought about JOSOU since the first stage of my business with Artemis. I have kept sending the message to people, not only through my work at the salon but through some media too occasionally, wishing my message to be accepted by both the crossdressers and people who are not enjoying crossdressing yet.

It was the age 26 of me when I started to challenge introducing a new idea to the crossdressing industry. At that time, although I had dreamed the crossdressing filled with the art and fashion, but almost all crossdressing shops were connected to sex industry and had nothing to do with art, fashion, and culture.
And now, I am pretty sure that I stand closely to the dream which I drew on my canvas in those days. There are several shops following Artemis’s style though they are not so many .

JOSOU  … means crossdressing in Japanese
JOSOU style … means Artemis’ s own crossdressing style

Reviewing the Japanese crossdressing history, it looks having taken a part of culture. During the time Edo era and before, we could see it’s close contact to daily life of citizens. However it was isolated from the activity in the public society as a sort of taboo in Meiji era until the end of WW Ⅱ. Recently, Japanese crossdressing has been re-evaluated and is getting a better position. In this process, I believe that Artemis has participated in some of the role.
I believe JOSOU style would be accepted by people regardless the nations they belong, as like as there is no border for the art.
And I can say that Japan is a comfortable country for crossdressers comparing to ones where prohibit crossdressing due to religious and / or political issues.

In the world of Artemis, you can simply wear women’s clothes and go out almost anywhere you want.
I would like offering you to experience the JOSOU style and to feel a part of Japanese modern culture at a time. I promise you to discover a variety of good things for your man’s life by the experience of having woman’s perspective or woman’s aspect of yourself.

My dream is always growing and I hope strongly that I will see you soon.

My warmest regards to you, 

Kaede Mizuha
