This was a really interesting book about the life of premier geisha Mineko Iwasaki. I got this book on sale at a bookstore called Second and Charles that just opened in the city where I life. I had never really considered how one entered this profession, and I was also misinformed about what this profession consisted of. Mineko really had a lot of interesting experiences throughout her career, which started before she even hit double digits. This was a really in depth look at a different culture, profession, and way of life. I was really very interested in this book.
