Synopsis

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.

Media Reviews
A meticulously researched work of scholarship, but is also a delightfully personal account of Dalby's year among the geisha. Geisha remains [Dalby's] best-known work and is the bible of geisha studies to this day. --The Times Literary Supplement
