Geisha: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki
5.0

As always, this book is one of my favorites. It is a nonfiction memoir that reads like fiction. Arthur Golden spoke at length with and consulted Mineko heavily before writing Memoirs of a Geisha.
The ruby peach pit gift was inspired from the stories Mineko tells in her own book.
Wanted to reread and refresh before I go to Kyoto and meet geisha and maiko.
