Description

And with a rule like that, there's no wonder why the lives of these mysterious red-lipped beauties have become the source of so many rumors and myths. Find out the truth in this week's episode, the secret lives of Geisha. Further ReadingA Typical 24 Hours of a Geisha’s TrainingEnlightenment Geisha: The Sex Trade, Education, and Feminine Ideals in Early Meiji JapanDocumentaries Documentary - A Tale Of Love And Honor - Life In Gion (sassy grandma) Real Geisha Real Women (2009)–Documentary–Complete Film, English SubtitlesSecret World of Geisha documentaryBooks Geisha, a Life by Mineko IwasakiGeisha of Gion: The True Story of Japan's Foremost Geisha by Mineko IwasakiInstagram

I'm TK, your guide to the past as we uncover the people, events, and little-known-facts hidden in the shadows of your old history textbooks. From empress baddies to activist profiles, turkey gods and the history of the toothbrush, tattoos, Pompeii peepees, and everything in between, you can find it all here. There is no telling how far we'll dig or how many "historical facts" we'll reexamine. No event too small and no topic too big, because this is For The Love of History.
