Geisha: A LifeNo woman in the three hundred year history of the karyukai has ever come forward in public to tell her story until now. Many say I was the best geisha of my generation, writes Mineko Iwasaki. And yet, it was a life that I found too constricting to continue. And one that I ultimately had to leave.

No woman in the three-hundred-year history of the karyukai has ever come forward in public to tell her story--until now. Many say I was the best geisha of my generation, writes Mineko Iwasaki. And yet, it was a life that I found too constricting to continue. And one that I ultimately had to leave. Trained to become a geisha from the age of five, Iwasaki would live among the other women of art in Kyoto's Gion Kobu district and practice the ancient customs of Japanese entertainment. She was loved by kings, princes, military heroes, and wealthy statesmen alike. But even though she became one of the most prized geishas in Japan's history, Iwasaki wanted more: her own life. And by the time she retired at age twenty-nine, Iwasaki was finally on her way toward a new beginning. Geisha, a Life is her story -- at times heartbreaking, always awe-inspiring, and totally true.Binding Type: Paperback

Well-Made, Comfortable to Use, and Perfect for Home Lattes
Color: Stainless Steel 12Oz
This little frothing pitcher has been a great addition to my coffee setup. The stainless steel feels solid and durable, and the size is just right for making a single latte or cappuccino. The spout gives you reasonable control, whether you’re pouring simple foam or trying a bit of latte art. I also appreciated the included art pen; it’s a slight touch, but it makes practicing designs fun. Easy to clean, comfortable to hold, and does exactly what it should—a dependable pitcher for anyone who enjoys making café-style drinks at home.

Got this for making omelets
Color: Silver 8Oz (250ml), Color: Silver 8Oz (250ml)
I bought this pitcher/mug mainly for beating eggs when making omelets. It’s a bit smaller than I expected, but it works well for single or double omelets, especially since I usually mix in a few extra ingredients. It did not come with a stirrer, may be it is not included with the 8 Oz mug. I had been using a plastic container before, and this stainless‑steel mug definitely makes a louder noise while stirring, but that’s expected with metal.
The mug itself feels well made. Time will tell whether the stainless steel holds up without rusting and whether the handle weld stays strong. The handle is comfortable to grip, and the opening is wide enough to clean with a scour pad. I haven’t put it in the dishwasher yet, but the description says it’s dishwasher‑safe.
