Becoming a Geisha

This piece is featured in the scenes where Mameha begins to train Chiyo to become a geisha. The scenes where she teaches Chiyo how to use folding fans and how to pour tea in the bath house are particularly memorable when one listens to this track. The oboe plays the overall melody of the song, with percussion in the background to offset the lightness of this piece. Eventually leads to a climax, and finishes very quietly.
