A Geisha (1953)
In the post-war Gion district of Kyoto, the geisha Miyoharu agrees to
apprentice the 16 year old Eiko, whose mother was a former geisha who had
just died. After a year of training they have to find a large sum of
money before Eiko can debut. Miyoharu borrows the money from the
tea-house owner, Okimi, who in turn obtains the money from the businessman
Kusada. Kusada fancies Eiko himself and wants to give Miyoharu to Kanzaki
in order to close a large business deal. However, both geishas have minds
of their own and, going against tradition, want to be able to say no to
clients. Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. Cosponsored by the MIT-Japan Program.
