Sakuragawa: A geisha and maiko RPG
The setting: Sakuragawa, the only surviving hanamachi (geisha district) in its city. The women who work here are proud of their arts and of the tenacity that has kept their district alive and thriving in the face of economic downturn and encroaching modernization. But it’s not all fun, games, luxurious clothes, and fabulous parties. It’s also hard work, intense competition, and the possibility that a single wrong move could ruin your day -- or your life. Do you have what it takes to make it and become the most popular geisha in the district? Will you make friends or bitter rivals? Even the smallest decision could make or break you…
A game for folks interested in geisha or even just Japanese culture in general. Players are welcome to play any of the many types of people who might turn up in a geisha district, from the geisha and maiko themselves to shop owners, teahouse owners, customers, tourists, or really any other kind of character. This game is set in a modern, fictional geisha district in a modern, fictional city. This is NOT an erotic or adult RPG, and it is NOT based on “Memoirs of a Geisha.”
