Expecting Nobu, Sayuri is instead surprised to see the Chairman. Disheartened, Sayuri decides to give up on her pursuit for the Chairman.Īfter returning to Gion, Sayuri is summoned to a nearby tea-house. When confronted, Pumpkin declares it her revenge for Sayuri being adopted by Mother instead of her. However, Pumpkin brings the Chairman instead. Sayuri devises a plan to have Nobu catch her being intimate with the Colonel so that he will lose interest, and enlists Pumpkin's help to do so. Nobu confronts Sayuri after seeing this and confesses his desire to become her Template:Transliteration.
The Colonel propositions Sayuri, but she rejects him. Sayuri travels with Nobu, the Chairman, Mameha, Pumpkin, and the American soldiers to the Amami Islands. Sayuri reunites with Mameha, who reluctantly agrees to help Sayuri impress the Colonel, as well as Pumpkin, who is now working as an escort. After the war ends, Nobu asks Sayuri to help him impress an American Colonel who could approve funding for their business. The Chairman relocates her to safety of the countryside, where she works for a kimono maker. Sayuri's successful career is cut short by the outbreak of World War II. Though the building is saved, Hatsumomo is banished from Gion. This leads to a fight between the two, in which Hatsumomo eventually starts a fire in the Template:Transliteration. Upon returning home from the ceremony, Sayuri finds a drunken Hatsumomo in her room, where the latter has found the Chairman's handkerchief. Mother immediately names Sayuri as her adopted daughter and the heiress to the Template:Transliteration, crushing Pumpkin and enraging Hatsumomo.
#MEMORIES OF A GEISHA RUN FULL#
In a bidding war for Sayuri's deflowering ceremony, as part of her becoming a full geisha, the winning bid is a record-breaking amount from Dr. Crab, and the Baron, Mameha's own Template:Transliteration. Thanks to Mameha's efforts, and in spite of Hatsumomo's scheming, Sayuri rises in popularity attracting the attention of many men including Dr. At a sumo match, Sayuri is reintroduced to the Chairman, but attracts the attention of his gruff business partner Toshikazu Nobu. Chiyo becomes a Template:Transliteration and receives the name Sayuri. Shortly afterwards, Chiyo is taken under the wing of Mameha, one of the district's most prominent geisha, who persuades Mother to reinvest in Chiyo's geisha training, promising to pay her twice over after her debut. Several years later, Pumpkin debuts as a Template:Transliteration under Hatsumomo's tutelage. Touched by his kindness, Chiyo resolves to become a geisha so that she might become a part of the Chairman's life. He buys her a shaved ice dessert and gives her his handkerchief and some money to cheer her up. One day, while crying on a riverbank, Chiyo encounters Chairman Ken Iwamura. Satsu flees Kyoto and Chiyo never sees her again. As a result, Mother stops investing in Chiyo's geisha training and instead makes her a menial servant to pay off her debts. When Chiyo tries to escape via the rooftops, she falls and is injured. They make plans to run away the following night. Hoping Chiyo will run away, Hatsumomo tells her where she can find Satsu in the red light district. Hatsumomo, seeing Chiyo as a potential rival, immediately treats her with abuse.
Pumpkin and Chiyo soon begin their education to become future geisha. Chiyo also meets "Granny" and "Auntie", the other women who run the house Pumpkin, another young girl and the Template:Transliteration's resident geisha, Hatsumomo. Chiyo is taken in by Kayoko Nitta, known as "Mother", the proprietress of a local Template:Transliteration Satsu, deemed too unattractive, is sent to a brothel instead. In 1929, Chiyo Sakamoto and her older sister Satsu are sold off by their poor father and taken to Gion, Kyoto.
