i would highly recommend finding out more about geisha. you would probably very much enjoy coming to kyoto, and there are tours which would give you some insight into geisha.
however, you should be aware that the woman "memoirs of a geisha" was supposedly based on was shocked and appalled when she read the book. "memoirs of a geisha" is soft-po.rn charles di.ckens in nightingale-poo make-up. if you enjoy the film, fine, but it has almost nothing to do with japan. |
I am completely aware that the movie romanticizes Japan and has nothing to do with the reality, well maybe the cherry blossoms...lol! As for the tours, I already knew about them before and it'll be one of the first things I want to do once I get settled in Japan. |
