Description
"A story like mine should never be told. For my world is as forbidden as it is fragile. Without its mysteries it cannot survive. I certainly wasn't born to the life of a geisha. Like so much in my strange life, I was carried there by the current."(Sayuri Narration)tools:corel painter8, mouse

The book is VERY descriptive on how geisha in her time looked. I like the picture, but the movie was a real let down. More detail should be used. The lips shouldnt be completely red, and there should be a very small line of bare skin along the hair line.

That's so beautiful. I love the contrast involved with Geisha - black and white with a splash of red. Absolutely stunning.

ohhhh my
I love Memoirs of a Geisha, I remember begging my mother to buy me the book(she thought it might be inappropriate) and then she went with me to watch the movie (which she loved & cried over, ironicly).
Anyhow, wonderful colors; she looks great
