Geisha is a truly interesting and intriguing book on the women in the Japanese culture. A geisha by some is simply a “high class prostitute.” Liza Dalby took the time to get into the world of the geisha and found a society that is rich in tradition, loyalty, and pride.
In the mid-70’s, Dalby traveled to Japan to learn the life of the geisha. ... In 1974, Dalby had a new identity as the geisha Ichigiku. Dalby’s ability to adapt to and become a geisha gave her the chance to relay the true meaning behind these fascinating women. ... Geisha serve as a sort of escape from reality. ...

To many outsiders, geisha are nothing but prostitutes making a living or “playthings for men. ... Having clean teeth was extremely important to the geisha because they “must never be embarrassed to give customers a bright smile.
