Important Events // Mary A.

-Chiyo and her sister, Satsu, are taken away from their parents by Mr. Tanaka to become geishas.

-Satsu and Chiyo are separated from eachother [because they are taken to two different geisha homes].

-The sisters eventually find eachother and come up with a plan to run away, but Satsu runs off with a boy instead.

-Mameha makes Chiyo her "little sister" and Hatsumomo does the same for Pumpkin.

-Several men compete to win Sayuri's [formerly known as Chiyo] virginity, which will hopefully clear all her debts.

-More men compete for Sayuri, but this time, it is for becoming her danna [wealthy man who provides for a geisha].

-Hatsumomo is no longer a part of Sayuri's life, so Sayuri can't be harmed by her anymore.

-The Chairman tells Sayuri about his feelings for her [which leads to the end of the story]
