From the back:
Her name was O-Kita…
At four she was kidnapped and sold into a teahouse. Her only
schooling was in the arts of sensual pleasure-giving. And then
one day, as if in a dream, the American surgeon came into
her life…
This is their strange and moving story… the story of a love
affair consummated amid idyllic splendor, and shattered by a
barbaric treachery that was always between them.
