Yachiyo (1887-1924) was a famous geiko (geisha) from Osaka, known for her elegance and her lovely personality. People were said to weep with joy at the sight of her dancing. She became a maiko (apprentice geisha) at the age of thirteen and left the profession to marry the artist Suga Tatehiko at the age of twenty-nine. / src: Blue Ruin
