Articoli correlati a Madame Sadayakko: The Geisha Who Seduced the West
Madame Sadayakko was the ultimate geisha, so exquisite that the prime minister of the day paid a fortune to deflower her. But she was a rebel who wanted to carve her own path in life. In 1899 she married a subversive avant garde actor and, with a troupe of other actors, they set out on the first ever tour of the West by a Japanese theatre company. Sadayakko took to the stage and became an instant star. She danced for the American President and for the Prince of Wales in London, Picasso painted her, Gide swooned over her and Rodin admired her. But back in Japan, she suffered the stigma of being an ex-geisha and an actor and was forced, in the end, to make a terrible choice - between respectability and love.

Summary: It is hard to imagine the storm of excitement Sadayakko created when she toured the United States and Europe in 1899. Here for the first time was a real geisha - not just that, but the most celebrated geisha in Japan, so beautiful that the prime minister of the day paid a fortune to deflower her. Now, at the age of twenty-seven, she was launching herself into a new career as Japan's first actress. Sadayakko's story plays out against the background of the beguiling era when Japan and the west were meeting each other for the first time. And Sadayakko was on the cusp of this collision of cultures This is the true story of her life and loves and her struggle to carve out a life for herself in a world in which women were supposed to be subservient to men. Geisha, actress, mistress, this is the story of a life lived passionately.
