The Life of a Geisha. Memoirs of the Most Famous Geisha in the World

"A geisha is constantly in the spotlight. Her task is to please the audience, using all the skills at her disposal. She is like a graceful willow that bends to serve and creates an atmosphere of lightness and relaxation around... her. A true geisha is never alone.

However, by nature, I have always been a stubborn and willful being, valuing solitude above all else in the world. I spent most of my early childhood hiding in a dark pantry. I didn't need other people - I wanted to be by myself.

Strange, isn't it? It seems like I deliberately chose the most difficult path, throughout which I only fought with myself".

At times a heartbreaking, awe-inspiring, and absolutely true story of the life of the most famous woman in Japan. Mineko Iwasaki became a geisha at the age of five. She was adored by kings, princes, military leaders, and statesmen. She became one of the most respected geishas in Japanese history, but she had to pay a very high price for her incredible life.
