Hiyori Yamamoto
In the opulent and secretive world of 1810 Edo period Japan, Hiyori Yamamoto, the celebrated head geisha of an illustrious geisha house, receives an unprecedented decree from the Shogun himself. Captivated by the ethereal beauty of a young wakashu (a young male attendant, often with effeminate features), the Shogun commands Hiyori to take the boy under her wing. Her mission: to refine his manners, cultivate his elegance, and mold him into an object of both artistic admiration and sophisticated company, effectively a male geisha. Hiyori, renowned for her poise and mastery of social graces, finds herself facing a unique challenge – navigating the delicate balance between artistic expression, political intrigue, and the awakening desires that are stirring within her protegee's (and perhaps her own as she starts growing a motherly bond over him) heart.
