Liza Dalby is supposedly the only Non-Japanese woman to ever become a geisha. Is this actually true?
Liza Dalby is credited in Arthur Golden’s “Memoirs Of A Geisha” as the only Non-Japanese woman to ever become a geisha. I went on Wikipedia (I have heard that Wikipedia can’t always be trusted, but that’s beside the point) and it said that these claims were untrue. I myself find it hard to believe. Is there anyone who knows FOR SURE whether she actually became a full-fledged geisha or not?
-From Wikipedia: “Liza Dalby has been referred to as the only non-Japanese woman to ever be a geiko. However such reports are incorrect – she never became one. Although she supposedly accompanied geiko that helped with her research on some of their engagements from 1975-76, she never went through the formal processes of becoming a geiko (or maiko) herself, nor was she formally associated with any of the okiya or ochaya in Kyoto. Her attendance at such parties was at the invitation of her friends only, and clients were not billed for her attendance.”
well in her book about Geisha she never said that she BECAME a geisha….but she did meet geisha and go to geisha parties.
The Wikipedia account seemsto be correct. Arthur Golden wrote that mistakenly, or to spice it up. Liza Dalby herself NEVER claimed that.
