Geisha Of Gion by Mineko Iwasaki
A candid memoir that opens the hidden world of Kyoto’s Gion district through the life of a celebrated geisha: her strict childhood training, the rituals and artistry of dance, music, and conversation, the mentoring bonds and delicate social codes, the intimate and often complicated relations with patrons, and the personal sacrifices, misunderstandings, and moral conflicts that drove her retirement and public revelations about a romanticized yet demanding profession.
