In 1998 Arthur Golden's popular novel "Memoirs of a Geisha" unleashed new interest in the aspect of Japanese culture which concerns the "Geisha" artist. I think the reason the Geisha life appeals so much to those of us in the West is because we don't really understand her world very well. So our lack of understanding tends to lead us to see the Geisha as a mystery to probe more deeply into. There have been many misunderstandings about the Geisha because of this fact. Even so, learning about the Geisha is actually a very educational, and enlightening, experience. It is worth the time and effort you put into it.
