"At the temple, there is a poem called "Loss" carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read Loss, only feel it."
In 1929, nine-year-old Chiyo Sakamoto, living in a small fishing village, is sold by her father to an okiya in Kyoto to become a geisha, along with her sister Satsu, who is taken to a brothel. After years of training, Chiyo, now known as Sayuri, becomes a renowned geisha, known for her beauty and grace, attracting the attention of powerful men. Sayuri's life is disrupted by the outbreak of World War II and the American occupation, forcing her to leave Kyoto and face new challenges, including the loss of her mentor Mameha and the death of her father.
