Madam White Snake

Last Sunday (December 7th), the Lihai Lily Salon held it's grand opening event: a story telling session with a Chinese tea ceremony. I managed to take a few pictures of the event, but was too captivated by the story to take more. Though the stage was opulently decorated, the true flower and center piece was Lady Lily herself (the proprietress of the salon) who played the pipa while sharing the tale of Madam White Snake. Afterwards, she stayed and chatted with the guests before they departed to enjoy all of Keisei.

Lady Lily welcomes her guest with a brief overview of the
Salon and of the upcoming performance. To the left, you
can see the tea set used during the tea ceremony. 
A picture of Lady Lily playing the pipa for her guests. It was
a packed house, and I believe everyone was as enthralled with
the story as I was. 
A front shot of Lady Lily playing the pipa, and a little dragon,
which is quite possibly the cutest tip jar I have ever seen!
