The Geisha (1983)

2h 24m 1983 Japan

Yokiro, the premier Geisha house in Western Japan during the early 20th century, has endured through the decades and continues to operate. At its height, over 200 geisha graced its halls, but beneath the glittering surface lay intense rivalries and conflicts involving family dynamics, gender struggles, and the Yakuza. Momokawa, sold to Yokiro at just 12, rises to prominence as a leading geisha. However, her intricate web of relationships presents constant challenges in her otherwise glamorous yet tumultuous journey through life within the captivating world of geisha culture.
