Geisha Of Gion. The Autobiography by Mineko Iwasaki

One of the most spellbinding books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I finished this in just over a day, and I am not a big reader. I could feel myself slipping into Mineko Iwasaki's Geiko life. Trully amazing. Her life had so many ups and downs but everything she did was for the love of the arts. Inspirational.

I love reading about the traditions and the culture of Japan especially when they come straight from those who lived their life in Japan. Things become tainted when stories are passed down through cultures and across languages. I would love to learn the Japanese language. To be able to read and speak japanese would be amazing. Hopefully I will have the time one day.
