Madame Sadayakko by Lesley Downer
Born into a modest Meiji-era household and trained as a geisha, she transformed herself into a pioneering theatrical star whose charisma and daring stage work helped introduce Japanese performance to Western audiences; the biography follows her rise from traditional entertainer to international celebrity, tracing her artistic collaborations, complicated personal relationships, and the tensions between duty and independence as she navigated fame, modernity, and the changing face of Japan.
