Memoirs Of A Geisha

[Galadriel]

---

A geisha isn't like a prostitute, because she isn't reliant on selling ***, and she doesn't always have *** with her danna. A danna is more of a patron than anything else, and being a patron doesn't automatically mean that he gets ***.

do some more reading on the subject of geisha, a good book is Geisha by Liza Dalby.

Zhang Ziyi was personally selected for the lead role by Steven Spielberg, who is the head producer of Memoirs of a Geisha. She will star with Ken Watanabe, Gong Li, and Michelle Yeoh in the long awaited movie adaptation of Arthur Golden's bestselling novel.

Set in a mysterious exotic world, which still casts a potent spell today, Nitta Sayuri (Zhang Ziyi) tells the story of her life as a geisha. It begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old girl with unusual blue-gray eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. We witness her transformation as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha: dance and music; wearing kimono, elaborate makeup, and hair; pouring sake to reveal just a touch of inner wrist; competing with a jealous rival for men's solicitude and the money that goes with it. Despite the treacherous Hatsumomo (Gong Li) who nearly breaks her spirit, the girl blossoms into a legendary geisha under the guidance of her mentor Mameha (Michelle Yeoh). Beautiful and accomplished, Sayuri captivates the most powerful men of her day, but is haunted by her secret love for the one man who is out of her reach, the mysterious Chairman (Ken Watanabe)
