First White (Foreign) Geisha
Here is perhaps the world’s first white Geisha, Liza Dalby.
She first went to Japan as a teenager, spending a year with a family in rural Saga City. Liza was the first and only foreign student at Saga University.
After returning and attending Swarthmore College, she encountered the field of cultural anthropology, which ultimately led her back to Japan to research and take on the role of a Geisha. Liza made her debut as Ichigiku.
