The only non-Japanese ever accepted by geisha into their special world, she became the geisha called Ichigiku during a yearlong residence in Kyoto. This account of her unique experience provides an intimate look into a feminine community that has been the subject of rumour and fantasy for centuries in the West.

She leads the reader to a rich understanding of Japan and one of the most Japanese of all existing institutions." (Taken from blurb). .
