Welcome to Litsy!

Liza Dalby may be one of the few if not the only foreigner to train in the geisha arts and serve in that capacity with the caveat that she skipped some traditional ceremonies and did not pass through the traditional stages of apprenticeship. The book is about that experience, the relationships she formed inside the geisha community and her detailed observations about geisha culture in modern Japan, although modern in this case meaning 1970s.

This is what I found when I last went to the local library book store. All proceeds benefit the library. I found several exciting selections including manga from a series I'm trying to collect all of, and a book I'd read forever ago, lent to a friend, and never hour back. #libraryhaul #goodbooks #bibliophile

Picked this up at goodwill yesterday. I find the geisha culture very interesting
