- A seasoned geisha and her apprentice maiko are forced to give in to their clients' sexual advances to survive.
- In post-war Japan, sixteen-year-old Eiko seeks out the geisha Miyoharu in the district of Gion, in Kyoto asking her to be a maiko (geisha apprentice). Eiko explains that her mother - who was a geisha and Miyoharu's friend - has just died, her father Sawamoto has failed in business, and her uncle is harassing her. Miyoharu is a warm-hearted woman and accepts to train her. One year later, Eiko's father refuses to be her guarantor and Miyoharu borrows a large amount from the tea-house owner Okimi to buy her kimono and debut in a party. Miyoharu changes Eiko's name to Miyoe and introduces her to clients as her sister. Soon, Miyoharu is charged for the money but neither she nor Miyoe want to have patrons.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Brian McInnis
- In the post-war Gion district of Kyoto, the geisha Miyoharu agrees to apprentice the sixteen-year-old Eiko, whose mother was a geisha who has just died. After a year of training, they must find a large sum of money before Eiko can debut. Miyoharu borrows the money from the tea-house owner, Okimi, who in turn obtains the money from the businessman Kusuda. Kusuda fancies Eiko himself and wants to give Miyoharu to Kanzaki in order to close a large business deal. However both geisha have minds of their own and, going against tradition, want to be able to say no to clients.—Will Gilbert and Brian McInnis
