Book Reviews of A Geisha's Journey: My Life As a Kyoto Apprentice
Book Review: Delightful photographic insight to a Miyagawacho maiko
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a must-have for anyone interested in geisha. The pictures are beautiful and at times intimate. But if you looking for something gritty like Mineko Iwasaki's biography, you won't find it here. This book is a delightful photographic journal of the passage to womanhood in the geisha world. Komomo-san seems like a darling and you feel you get to know her somewhat through these enchanting photos. There is no new information here for the seasoned geisha enthusiast, but is still an essential part of anyone's collection.
