Editorial Review:
Product Description:
"Rises above many of its competitors, thanks to its ambitious scope...The book's photos and illustrations are frequently stunning....Gallagher's writing style is straightforward and articulate, with so much intelligence and grace, it's difficult not to be charmed."--Publishers Weekly
Take a fascinating peek into the geisha's world of tradition and ritual with the help of a most unique book. Four see-through vellum sections, of four layers each, begin with a "naked" geisha; they show, stage by stage, how her distinctive costume and make-up are assembled. You'll view the subtle changes of appearance through the round of seasonal events, and the elaborate array of equipment in the geisha's wardrobe, as well as everything she needs to do her demanding jobs. Equally revealing is the incredibly detailed information about the women's training, lives, and history.

Memoirs of a Geisha is a poorly written and pathetic work that somehow became a Best Seller and is now an equally pathetic film which only goes to show that anyone with the right connections gets things published and can make a movie.
However it has shown people something about the orient and has caused interest in the subject of these women.
This book is certainly a good result. It is extremely well written and very well illustrated. Quite a bargain in matters of content and ... Read More

This book is extremely inexpensive for the number of pages and high quality photos. I found the captions and photos to express much meaning about the lives of geishas and it gave a look into the japanese culture, as well. I highly recommend this book as one for enjoyment and relaxation, as well as for research and such studies. Everyone of all tastes will enjoy this.
*To those who stated that this book doesn't give a look into the dark, seedy world of geishas -- geishas are different from ... Read More
