Memoirs of A Geisha #4

Memoirs Of A Geisha
Arthur Golden
350/500
Historical Fiction

A few weeks after Chiyo meets the chairman again memeha tells her that there si another important man she should meet, she cuts her leg and takes her to the doctor where she meets Dr. Crab. Dr. Crab loves her eyes and she has to impress him so she can get more support  to be  a geisha. A few weeks after that she is invited to many tea parties with nobu and chairman and other men and she has to entertain them. Nobu buys her a gift but Chiyo doesn't really want it because she likes chairman not Nobu. She is also asked to model in an artists studio because of her beautiful eyes. When a geisha is fifteen she must loose her virginity to the highest bidder and Chiyo is 15 now. Pumpkin and Chiyo were finally able to talk without hatsumomo forbidding them to and Pumpkin told her that hatsumomo had talked to dR. Crab and told him that Chiyo was no longer a virgin which made mr. Crab upset and mad but Memeha managed to convince everyone that it was a lie, so the bidding is still happening. Chiyo is invited to perform a solo in one of the most popular events. she practices her routine everyday and the day finally arrives and she learns that she is drawn on the poster that advertises the event which makes her happy. She has a really good performance and impresses many people including Nobu so Nobu buys her a really expensive gift which she gives to mother. Mother decides to adopt her which is good for her but bad for pumpkin. The bidding started and she got the record for highest bidding ever, which was from mr crab. So she looses her virginity to him but she didn't enjoy it, she would have wanted it to be with the chairman instead. After a few years Sayuri finally went from apprentice to geisha at 18 years old and her danna will be Nobu, but she tells mama that she doesn't want nobu so she gets another guy to be her danna. General Tottori is in the military so he is helpful to the okiya.



I think that Chiyo is having a good life so far and it's good that she doesnt live with hatsumomo anymore. I find it annoying how she isn't important to chairman, if only he knew how much she loved him. I hope that she gets with chairman and she lives a happy life as a geisha.


"I must admit i felt a sickness inside when i heard this. If i was to have a rescuer, i wanted it to be the chairman and no one else."-238

This shows that she doesn't want anyone else but chairman, chairman is the one for her.
