Regardless of the bad things 'Sayori' has done and the number of men she knew, she loved only one man and she was eager to spend the rest of her life with him. 'Sayori', who is the one telling her biography was in love with the 'President' of a big Japanese company for years, she never lose the hope to grab his attention, she holds the rope even in the black days of World War II. The story reflects the 'law of attraction' that was illustrated in 'The Secret', the book written by Rhonda Byrne.

The effect of the war on businesses was documented nicely, it ascertains how business relationships is the key driver to maintain & sustain businesses, relying on your out-reach relationships can save your business most of the time, true indeed! Financial aspects were covered as well, the Geisha will have to pay every single penny spent on her training, school fees and all the other accessories bought for her once she starts generating money -regardless of how she generates it. The clear cut of the roles they are playing has captured my attention. The big mama is responsible for the financial aspects and clients' relationships, the big sister is the one responsible for training & guidance and she will be accountable for any performance lacks in case the new Geisha is under-performed, while the role of the Geisha is to blindly obey the orders, show interest to learn, unleash her potentials and be exposed to society, but in a classy careful manner. The governance structure of the Geisha's house reminds me of some organizations, and it’s very effective by the way –regardless of the business purpose-, the roles and responsibilities are well defined and it’s governed by rules and guidelines. I admit that the Japanese culture is full of stuff, but I never know this part before, the role the Geisha is playing in the Japanese community was new to me. First & for most, I like the metaphors that were used, it reflects how solid is the imagination of the person telling the story!

Well, there is a thin -or a- thick line between Geishas & prostitutes 'sorry for the word'.

Geisha is a Japanese lady who is raised to learn how to perform different types of arts such as dancing, singing, playing music, acting, etc. It's been a while since I quit reading novels, but since this was a biography exposing parts of the Japanese culture and some other historical events earlier in the 20th century, I allow myself to swim between the lines & float on the letters!Ī 700+ pagers Japanese novel written by the American Arthur Golden, quite old but recently finds its way to my hand!
