** spoiler alert ** Sayuri (childhood name is Chiyo) is a naïve and imaginative girl with unusual blue-gray eyes. As a nine-year old in 1929, Sayuri and her older sister, Satsu, are taken from Yoroido, the small fishing village they’ve grown up in, and sold into slavery. They are separated in Kyoto, and Sayuri is taken to the renowned geisha house in Gion, the Nitta okiya. During her first few months there she works as a servant and takes lessons at a geisha school. Hatsumomo, the geisha who resides in the okiya, torments and manipulates Sayuri often. When Sayuri learns of Satsu’s whereabouts, she tries to run away, but is caught and revoked her chances to become a geisha. Everyone in the okiya- Mother and Granny (who own the okiya), Auntie (who helps keep up the okiya), and Pumpkin (an apprentice geisha), are disappointed in her. When Sayuri meets the Chairman of Iwamura Electric, she is motivated to work harder to become a geisha so that one day she might be able to spend her time entertaining men like him. Later on, one of Gion’s most prominent geisha, Mameha, speaks to Mother about letting Sayuri take her lessons again. Mameha also expresses an interest in taking Sayuri under her wing and teaching her everything there is to know about being a geisha. Shortly afterwards, Mameha and Sayuri attend a ceremony that bind them as “sisters”. Mameha takes Sayuri with her to parties and banquets. At one party they meet the Chairman and Toshikazu Nobu. At the end of the party, Mameha devises a plan to pay off Sayuri’s debts- it involves Sayuri’s mizuage (virginity). Sayuri frequently entertains the two men who are most likely to have an interest in her- Nobu, and “Dr. Crab”. After several months of this, the bidding starts and Dr. Crab wins and becomes Sayuri’s mizuage patron. Due to the recent turn of events, Mother goes back on her word to adopt Pumpkin into the okiya and announces her intentions to adopt Sayuri as the daughter of the okiya. In 1938, Sayuri transitions from apprentice geisha to geisha. Not too long after this, General Tottori becomes her danna (a man who pays for a geisha’s expenses). Just before the start of World War II, the General is taken into custody and the geisha districts close. To prevent Sayuri from having to work in the factories, Nobu sends her to work making parachutes with the Arashinos, who before the war made the kimono that geisha wear. Several years after the war, Sayuri returns to Gion and continues her work as a geisha. When Nobu proposes himself as her danna, Sayuri feels caught in the middle ground- she doesn’t want to jeopardize her friendship with Nobu, yet she isn’t ready to let go of the hopes and dreams she’s held onto since she was a child of someday being with the Chairman. So when on a trip to Amami, she betrays Nobu by seducing a man. She had intended for Nobu to see this, but instead the Chairman did. After Sayuri’s return to Gion she met unexpectedly with the Chairman, who explained the real reason she had become a geisha, and that he has always held an interest in her but his friendship with Nobu kept him from showing it. The Chairman became Sayuri’s danna, and after several trips to the United States with him, Sayuri settled in New York, and set up a teahouse. Once Sayuri suggested that she was carrying his child, the Chairman agreed that she should stay in New York. Sayuri visited on occasion with the Chairman until the day he died. After his death she realized that she has him, and everyone else who is no longer a part of her life, in her memories of them.
