The book was made into the Memoirs of a Geisha movie in 2005. The Memoirs of a Geisha movie earned 6 academy award nominations and became one of the epic that is enjoyed worldwide in all cultures. If you have not seen the Memoirs of a Geisha movie, it is worth seeing. The Memoirs of a Geisha book by Authur Golden is also one of the most enjoyable books that is more than worth reading.

Japanese Geisha

Geisha always wear traditional geisha costume, the kimono. Japanese geisha makeup are also exquisite. In the past, Japanese look up to geisha as fashion icon. However, modern geisha are few in number. Although, geisha represent Japanese tradition, they live in secrecy, shut away from the outside world.

Arthur Golden was so fascinated by the way of life of geisha that he wrote a novel called Memoirs of a Geisha. The book was made into a movie also called Memoirs of a Geisha movie, directed by Rob Marshall.

This website discusses many aspects of the life of a geisha. (The word geisha is either singular or plural.) This Memoirs of a Geisha website starts out by examining what geisha are and what they do. Geisha lives by their number one rule, the geisha code of silence. We discuss geisha makeup and geisha costume, the kimono. We also discuss in some details why geisha culture is facing extinction. Once, there were almost a hundred thousand geisha, now there are less than 10,000. Modern geisha are also not like traditional geisha which the Japanese are proud of. This Memoirs of a Geisha website discusses modern geisha as well.

Since the Memoirs of a Geisha movie will have an impact on shedding light on the way of life of geisha to a wider range of people, we also discuss the Memoirs of a Geisha movie and also Memoirs of a Geisha book by Arthur Golden. You can see this epic on the Memoir of a Geisha DVD.
