If someone was to mention the word “geisha”, you would automatically assume
that they would they would be talking about Japanese prostitutes. As I got deeper into the
book, the opinion on whether a geisha is a prostitute definitely changes. In Arthur
Golden’s “Memoirs of a Geisha”, he tells a tale of a young, 9 year old girl named Sayuri
and the journey she went through. ... Sayuri and Satsu were not originally brought up to become
geishas, “I wasn’t born and raised to be a Kyoto geisha” Pg. ... Sayuri then realized that she had been sold into slavery, working in
a okiya, and she saw a geisha named Hatsumomo for the first time, the woman who would
give her the most trouble, and they had a certain hatred for each other. ...
After through suffering for a number of years as a maid, A geisha named Mameha
adopts her as her little “sister” and Sayuri is on her way of becoming a geisha. Hatsumomo, a
geisha living with Sayuri, do not get along. ... A few years back, Hatsumomo had
an arch-rival geisha, Mahema. ... Sayuri
future now looked much brighter because she was in a beginning of becoming a geisha.
Definition of older, little sister: when a young girl is ready to make her debut as an apprentice
geisha, she needs to have established a relationship with more experienced geisha. The older
sister teaches the young geisha the proper way of not embarrassing themselves. ...
As I finished reading this book, the opinion on whether a geisha or not is a prostitute
is very debatable. To me, I don’t think a geisha means prostitution because of how Arthur
Golden explains the story.
