- Summary:
-
This book documents--through photographs, interviews and essays--every step in the metamorphosis of three young Japanese women from maiko (apprentice geisha) to geiko (Kyoto's term for full-fledged geisha). The images and narratives unveil the unique traditions the women follow during the time of their debuts (known as their erikae). The geiko themselves talk honestly about what this transformation is like, as do the artists and craftspeople who make the momentous event possible.
