What A Geisha's Diary Is About
A young woman is put through a rigorous training in the arts held to belong to women so that she can become a geisha. Struggling through life, she learns to live not only as a woman but as a whole person. The film does not use the profession as exotic decor; it shows economic dependence, relations of patronage and the process by which she wins her own decisions. The account presents her as neither a victim nor a free figure and follows the distance between the two. It comes from the vein of Japanese cinema of 1961 that put a woman at the centre. Ayako Wakao plays the lead in Yuzo Kawashima’s ninety nine minute Japanese film, completed in 1961.
