about Chiyo/Sayrui

As a girl, Chiyo is sold by her father and taken to Kyoto where she escapes the brothel to become the servant in an on Okiya. With enough work, the Okiya will put forth the money in order for her to undergo Geisha training. Unfortunately, after repeated mistakes and some lies, Chiyo loses her chance at becoming a Geisha.

Or so it seems. Taken under the wing of famous Geisha Mameha, who changes Chiyo's name to Sayuri, Chiyo undergoes a quick Geisha training. Indeed, she seems a natural. Soon, she becomes one of the most famous herself.

However, her life is far from perfect. She loses her sister, loses her love, and has to stuff down every emotion that she has that contradicts that of a Geisha, which she does. She's a strong character, without a doubt, one who suffers and struggles. While she doesn't seem to be getting any closer to what she truly wants, she persists and endures at all costs.
