¡Koda Aya / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] Rika is a 40-plus widow who has worked as a matron, cleaning lady, and even a maid in a dog house, but she is well educated and has a strong temperament. When she takes up residence as a maid at a geisha house on the verge of collapse, she observes the customs of the geisha world and the lives of the geisha from behind the kitchen counter, and is surprised by the incidents that occur there. The sadness, transience, and ups and downs of the glamorous life behind the scenes are captured with a delicate sensibility and depicted with a rich poetic sentiment. A masterpiece representative of Koda's literature that vividly depicts the women who powerfully live in the Hanayagi world. Winner of the Japan Art Academy Prize and the Shinchosha Literary Award.
