The success of a geisha Sayuri became very famous, influential in the decision to adopt the Nitta Okiya Pumpkins, and eventually he canceled adopts Sayuri Pumpkins and choose as heir to rename Okiya Chiyo into Sayuri Nitta. The reason for choosing Sayuri Sayuri would be a gold mine and become heirs in the future. The decision made by the competition between Sayuri and the tapered Pumpkins.

Several years passed, Sayuri is becoming more popular and become a geisha who has a lot of customers that would come from the big businessmen and high officials were able to give a great reward for his services.

Ketualah the hopes that interested him turned out, was the one that attracted Nobu to Sayuri, she was able to become advocates for funding to meet the needs of Sayuri, Sayuri and accept it because none of the men in Gion which could permanently become financial backers for him , basically sayuri disappointed because he hoped the chairman who will become financial backers for his life.

Second world war broke out, all the people of Japan-sex male compulsory military service and are not required to follow the war to work in factories to meet the needs of Japanese soldiers who are fighting. Geisha in Gion-complex was closed, the women were sent to the factories to work, Fate Mameha and Sayuri better, they can help from the chairman and sent to a textile factory where conditions are not too heavy to be carried by Sayuri and Mameha. Over at the textile factory Sayuri toil in the hot sun that would damage the skin and body care Due to malnutrition. But Sayuri aware of the situation and he had to be patient and live in the small village for survival.

Perangpun finally over, with the defeat of Japan after Auto bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan began to calm conditions, even in very poor condition. Gion district reopened, and Nobu was the data back to meet Sayuri, and asked for his help and the chairman to entertain his business relationship because of Nobu and the chairman are starting their businesses that were destroyed in the war. And Nobu also expressed his feelings and his ability to be a financial backer Sayuri. Sayuri mixed feelings between happy and disappointed, because he hoped the ketualah which will give the offer.

Sayuri finally know the reason for making her life ruined Pumpkins, Pumpkins in retaliation because he was the one that should be adopted as a child instead of Sayuri Nitta Okiya.

After the embarrassing incident passed, Sayuri felt empty, but he was still conscious life must go on and he too was free from Nobu. One day there was an offer to guests menghidur disebuah "Tea Hause", he himself did not know who the person who requested his services. Go Sayuri place of the banquet, it turns out there is no chairman "Iwamura Ken". Compassion, fear, shame and desire that he finally broke buried also, apparently unrequited feelings, and Sayuri know another pact that actually the chairman who asked Mameha to make geisha Sayuri as famous and protect it. And of course the chairman sayuri loves. The chairman offered to be the financial backer for Sayuri, and the ketuapun pay dearly for Sayuri Nitta Okiya to free and belong to him and not be a geisha again.

Sayuri eventually became mistress of the chairman, the chairman accompany Sayuri in a Villa which purchased the master, and comfort him from year to year, but not bored because Sayuri think that's his destiny to be with the president, first and last love man.

Sayuri a few years later moved to New York and opened his own Tea House. And Sayuri spend the rest of his life there.
