Second book of my geisha kick. Sanyo Masuda grew up a poor farmer's daughter that was sold into a geisha house of a hot springs resort. Here we take a look at the lower level geisha that became more like indentured servants and prostitutes as she struggled with depression, tragedy and battled alcoholism. A stark contrast to the romanticized ideal featured in Memoirs of a Geisha.
