THE GEISHA. IMPORTANT JUDGMENT BY

JAPANESE COURT. /

A judgment which spells liberty and happiness to hundreds of thousands of Japanese girls by striking at the very roots of the geisha system has been given by the Oaks Appellate Court.

V

The decision, behind "which lies a real geisha lore story, lays it down that no girl may be bound by a contract made without her consenting knowledge and enforced against her will. It bas smashed a tradition as old as the history of Japan itself.

For centuries, it has been the practice of parents having daughters whom they felt unable to maintain to band them over, when between seven and 12 years of age, to the keepers of geisha-training houses, who have selected the comeliest and brightest "und those baring natural musical talent and have practically adopted them.

GEISHA CONTRACTS;

#

The parents, under this system, enter into contracts that the girls shall remain with their master and be subject to all bis commands until such time as they shall, from their earnings as entertainers have repaid all the cost of their education in music, dancing, flower arrangement, colour matching, deportment, table etiquette and. conversation and such accomplishments as constitute the geisha stock in thule, on the money together with interest spent, the cost of food, most important the cost of clothing."

Thers is nothing necessarily vicious about a geisha's life. The aristocracy of Japan numbers amongst its daughters many wives who, ware geisha when first they met their titled husbands, and most geisha marry well after their periods of service are up. Bat until they have earu- ed their way ont, they have hitherto been practically slaves,

"THE YOUNG LAND."

The story of the court decision that has changed all this centres around a pretty 18-year-old geisha known as Kaniwak- literally "The Young Land."

Her parents, says the Tokyo correspon. dent of the North China Daily News, had sold her on a seven-year contract, which specified that if she should leave the service of her master voluntarily be fore her term was up her parents should refund to him the difference between the amount he had expended upon her and the amount she had earned for him.

Kuniwaka sorved contentedly until a few months ago, when she fell in love with one of her young patrons, but an impecu.

nious one,

Her master ordered her to confine her graciousness to other and older patrons, whose bills could be made larger, and Kaiwaka stamped her little silken sandal and refused..

She continued to refuse and to spend her hours with the moneyless youth of her. heart until her master, desiring to frighten her, produced a long keen dirk and tatened her with it. Whereupon she packed a few of her kimonos and the best of her gorgeous sashes and fled.

The master promptly sued the parents under the contract. The case was contested, and in the district court judgment against the master was rendered on the grounds that under modern law such a contract savoured of slavery and was not enforce- able.

In upholding this view the Appellate Court says that when the contract was entered into Kuniwaka was a minor and that all her earnings were pocketed by her master. Such a contract is against morality- and is void,.
