Summary | Explores the 400-year history of the Japanese geisha. Contrary to the Western misconception of the geisha as little more than a high-priced call-girl, this is a profession where women devote decades to the mastery of music, conversation and the fine art of massaging the male ego. Also, witness the darker side of the geisha, from tales of sexual treachery and suicide, to their role in the fall of a hierarchy of political leaders as recently as 1989. |
