>Dear All,
>	Intrigued by all the publicity about the filming of Memoirs of a Geisha, 
>one of my students asked me if she could find out more about the Korean 
>equivalent.  That's outside my main field, so I immediately thought of this 
>list.  Does anybody know of anything - fiction, non-fiction, film, or 
>whatever - that might give an insight into the lives of kisaeng?  
>Unfortunately, only English-language sources would be of any use in this 
>case.
