Customer Reviews

wife loves it

Bought it for my wife as a Christmas present at her request. She adores the book, finds it very well written and insightful. An excellent resource to better understand these beautiful women of the arts.

A Beautiful Reader's Companion

I bought this book while I was reading Golden's "Memoirs of a Geisha" and found it quite helpful in pulling together mental pictures while I was reading the novel. "Memoirs" is so rich in detail that having beautiful pictures and historical sidenotes really enhanced my reading experience and helped me get more of a feeling for the environment in which the story takes place. "Life of a Geisha" also makes a fantastic coffee table book and conversation piece, with all it's magnificent photos, facts, and poems!

This is a gorgeous book

The text is familiar to anyone who has read "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden or "Geisha" by Liza Dalby. The numerous illustrations are beautiful, and make this book well worth the purchase price.
