In this autobiography, Mineko Iwasaki recalls her life as a geisha in Kyoto's Gion district: training from childhood, music, dance, conversation, and the lights and shadows of that profession. After Arthur Golden used Mineko Iwasaki's confidences in 'Memorias de una geisha', Mineko Iwasaki decided to tell her own story.
Part of the Grandes Narradoras collection. Translated by M.ª Eugenia Ciocchini Suárez. The book consists of an introduction, thirty chapters, and an epilogue.
For readers interested in memoirs, biographies, Japanese history and culture, particularly the traditional world of geishas.
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. Known for her performances for celebrity and royalty during her geisha life, Iwasaki was the heir apparent to her geisha house while she was just a young apprentice.
