Geisha: the mystique never dies. Available again, this classic bestseller offers an intimate glimpse into a unique female community. In her account of her experience as the Kyoto geisha Ichigiku, Liza Dalby--the only non-Japanese ever to have trained as a geisha--reveals the realities of a world that has long been the subject of rumor and fantasy, and that continues to fascinate Japanese and Westerners alike to this day.
