With a new preface

Geisha: the mystique never dies. Available again, this classic best-seller 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.

"The authoritative work on the geisha. It is filled with facts and history, shot through with insights and understanding. Her working as a geisha, her experiencing their world, is responsible for the breadth of her understanding. Her subtle common-sense, her ability to perfectly assess—these are qualities of her own."
