"Maiko Masquerade explores Japanese representations of the maiko, or apprentice geisha,
in films, manga, and other popular media as an icon of exemplary girlhood. Jan Bardsley
traces how the maiko, long stigmatized as a victim of sexual exploitation, emerges
in the 2000s as the chaste keeper of Kyoto's classical artistic traditions. Insider
accounts by maiko and geisha, their leaders and fans, show pride in the training,
challenges, and rewards maiko face. No longer viewed as a toy for men's amusement,
she serves as catalyst for women's consumer fun. This change inspires stories of ordinary
girls--and even one boy--striving to embody the maiko ideal, engaging in masquerades
that highlight questions of personal choice, gender performance, and national identity"
