Liza Dalby may be one of the few if not the only foreigner to train in the geisha arts and serve in that capacity with the caveat that she skipped some traditional ceremonies and did not pass through the traditional stages of apprenticeship. The book is about that experience, the relationships she formed inside the geisha community and her detailed observations about geisha culture in modern Japan, although modern in this case meaning 1970s.

This is what I found when I last went to the local library book store. All proceeds benefit the library. I found several exciting selections including manga from a series I'm trying to collect all of, and a book I'd read forever ago, lent to a friend, and never hour back. #libraryhaul #goodbooks #bibliophile

Sace Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Water Bride #manga. 7y
SpiderGoddess @RestlessFickleBookSlut - I've already read the first 5 of Bride. I love it immensely!! 7y
Sace I wish my library had them. They are hard to find. Or were the last time I looked. 7y
Serotonin The artwork in Bride of the Water God is beautiful ❤ 7y
