Country bumpkin Haruko only ever wanted to become a maiko, an apprentice geisha. Initially rebuffed for lack of references, Haruko's strong accent intrigues a linguistics professor, who undertakes to coach her.

Plot

Haruko aspires to become a maiko, and makes her way to Shimohachiken, a geisha quarter in Kyoto.
