Mineko Iwasaki's life was described in Arthur Golden's bestseller "Memoirs of a Geisha". A film of the same name was made based on the book. But Arthur Golden made many mistakes and inaccuracies, mixing, in Mineko's opinion, the art of beauty with depravity. And then she decided to publish her memoirs, where she frankly told the true truth about her life.
Trained to be a geisha from the age of five, Iwasaki lived among other "women of art", practicing the ancient customs of Japanese entertainment. She was worshiped by kings, princes, military heroes and statesmen. A woman with an amazing destiny, she earned millions by entertaining high-ranking guests - she met with Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, and Maya Plisetskaya herself took lessons from her. She walked a beautiful and graceful path, but what price did Mineko Iwasaki have to pay for her incredible life?
