Do you have any book recommendations about geisha? I’ve already read Mineko Iwasaki’s autobiography and really enjoyed it and was wondering if there are any other good books about geisha and the karyukai that you know of.
Thank you in advance and I hope you have a great day! 💜
Let me focus on books with a lot of text, since you enjoyed Mineko's autobiography. If you want photo book recommendations, feel free to ask about those, too! :)
Three Geishas (1956) by Kikou Yamata
short biographies of three Meiji era Geisha: Okichi お吉 from Shimoda (lived 1841-1890), Okoi お鯉 from Tokyo-Shinbashi (1880-1948) and Tsumakichi 妻吉 from Osaka-Horie (1888-1968)
Autobiography of a Geisha (1957) by Sayo Masuda
about a girl that was sold to an Okiya in Kamisuwa Onsen, became a Geisha named Tsuruyo 鶴代, and overall led a miserable life
I, a Geisha (1969) by Kikuya
brings a basic overview about Tokyo Geisha and their history, the author was an Akasaka Geisha (Kikuya 菊弥)
Geisha (1983) by Liza Dalby
this book is probably more famous than Mineko's autobiography. Liza Dalby lived with Pontocho Geiko while working on her dissertation, and this is about her experiences during that stay in Japan (I have to admit, I never read it entirely...)
Subtle Beauty (2014) by Kazuhiko Matsumura
essays with photos on various Kyoto Geiko (Japanese with English translation in the same book)

光が透明な物質の軌道に沿って進むことができるという事実は、少なくとも 19 世紀半ばから知られていました。1841 年、スイスのダニエル コラドン教授は、流体の流れのデモンストレーションの一環として、水を噴射して光を導き、光が水の軌道に沿って進むことを発見しました。同じ頃、フランスの光学専門家ジャック バビネは、湾曲したガラス棒で同じ効果を実証しました。1850 年代までに、パリ オペラ座は特殊効果にコラドンの光を曲げるトリックを使用し、1880 年代には、この効果は大きな光る噴水のデザインに使用されました。
これらのデモンストレーションで作用していた現象は、全反射と呼ばれるものです。光が、ある透明な素材から屈折率の異なる別の素材に斜めに通過すると(つまり、光は素材内で異なる速度で移動します)、その経路は曲げられます。しかし、屈折率の差が十分に大きく、光の角度が十分に浅い場合、光は曲がるのではなく、表面で反射され、素材内にとどまります。全反射は、屈折率の高いダイヤモンドが適切にカットされると輝く理由です。
