Biography
Japanese Literature
One hundred yen -- That was her price. YAMAGUCHI Kinu was sold by her father to the eastern red-light district "Fukuya" in 1900, when she was only seven years old. Kinu, who was adopted by Dwelling of Geisha, endured a difficult life, practiced dancing, shamisen and tsuzumi (hand drum), and eventually became Suzumi, one of the most famous geisha in Kanazawa. It is an eternal masterpiece that depicts the glamour of women living in hanamachi (geisha districts) and the heartless feelings behind them against the backdrop of the social conditions of castle towns from the Meiji period to the Showa period.
