Mineko Iwasaki, a geisha of Gion, recounts her life from childhood to her retirement at twenty-nine: her arrival at the geisha house, training in music, dance and conversation, the rules and language of that reserved world, and her ties to influential figures in Japanese society.

For readers of memoirs and biographies and for those who want to approach Japanese culture through a personal testimony.
Mineko Iwasaki is a Japanese businesswoman, author and former geisha. Iwasaki was the most famous geisha in Japan until her sudden retirement at the age of 29.
