In these true stories of three who found fame, Kikou Yamata has illumined for us the soul of the geisha against a fascinating backdrop--the theater, business, and political world of the last one hundred years." #01954.

Green paper boards, illustrated with a blindstamped carp on the front; dark orange linen spine. The dustjacket is complete and unclipped, showing some rubbing, several closed tears, and a chip at the top of the spine/front panel. An interesting read, if a bit sentimental for current tastes.
