Iwasaki, Mineko, ca. 1955- . Iwasaki was, like her older sister, sold to the okiya of a Kyoto geisha house, when she was seven. She went on to become possibly the most famous and influential geisha of her time, and certainly the pre-eminent geisha of Kyoto in the 1960s and '70s. Her story was part of the inspiration for the best-selling 1997 novel, Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden, which is being filmed for 1999 release by Steven Spielberg. She now lives in retirement in Kyoto.
