Memoirs of GEISHA....

Wonderful lines from the movie "Memoirs of GEISHA"

The heart dies a slow death,
Shedding all hopes like leaves,
Until one day there are none,
No hopes
Nothing remains
She paints her face to hide her face
It is not for a Geisha to want
It is not for a Geisha to feel
Geisha is an artist of a flaunting world
She dances, she sings, she entertains you
What ever you want
And rest is secret
rest is SHADOWS...

A story like mine should never be told
For my world is as bitten as it is fragile
I certainly was not born to the life of a GEISHA
But as so much in my strange world
I was carried there by the current …


Remember Chiyo Geisha’s are not goddess
We are not wives
We sell our skill not our body
We create another secret world
Of beauty only
The very word Geisha means “artist”
And to be a Geisha is to be judged as moving work of art
….
Beatty and agony, for us, lives side by side
Your feet will suffer
Your fingers will bleed
Even sitting and sleeping will be pain
