Summary: Wishing to try it...
Comment: How lovely it would be to experience what Dalby did. This book is wonderful and a great insight to a secret world and fascination of mine.
Rating: 5
Summary: A unique and fascinating account
Comment: Like others I read this book after reading Memoirs of a Geisha. I found this book much more interesting because it tells real stories about real people. The history and backgound that Dalby relates as well her own personal experiences make this book one-of-a-kind and deeply interesting. A must-read for anybody interested to learn more about geisha. Although there are extensive footnotes to explain certain things more deeply, the more you already know about Japan, the more you will get out of this book.

Summary: Passe - a mix of scholarly and experience, no real feeling
Comment: This book, written in the '70 is both scholar and testimonial. The problem is that ends up being none, the information is not easy to put in perspective, there is no logic to the order of the contents, it jumps from scholarly to anecdotic and none illuminates the other really. If you want to have a more thoroughly understanding and a "feel" for the geisha world, read about a real geisha, Geisha: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki, or about a literary one: Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden. Both will teach you more than this book.
