Geisha de Liza Dalby

I really enjoyed the first half or two-thirds of this book. After that, I think I just got to the point where there was so much information that it was losing me. However, I did finish the book--only to find that it has another one of those "drop-off" endings that I find to be so common for Asian stories. This is definitely THE resource for anyone interested in geishas and other aspects of Japanese culture. I am curious as to how "off" her information is...now that it's been 40 years or so since the info. was gathered, 35 years since the book was written, and almost 20 years since the revision.

The Tale of Murasaki de Liza Dalby

I couldn't relate to the main character, Murasaki. The author did not provide enough details to make the emotions and situations believable... or they simply weren't believable to begin with.

Geisha de Liza Dalby

Excellently written and researched book about the little known world of the geisha. Thorough and interesting...good companion to the "Memoirs of a Geisha" book.

Kimono: Fashioning Culture de Liza Crihfield Dalby

The colorful and stylized kimono--the national garment of Japan--expresses not only Japanese aesthetic sensibilities but the soul of Japan as well. This book traces the history of kimono--its uses, aesthetics, and social meanings--to explore Japanese culture.

An engaging mix of fashion history and social anthropology, this lively and scholarly book demonstrates in a new way how clothing can illuminate our understanding of culture.
