To everyone’s surprise, Nobu doesn’t become Sayuri’s danna. They chose another wealthy businessman. Eventually the war makes it impossible for the geisha to keep living the way they do. Sayuri moves in with another family, working for them as a maid, basically. One day Sayuri is told she has a visitor. She comes to see its Nobu. She has a long discussion with him, and it turns out Nobu has been looking for Sayuri, and geishas have started coming back to the area. Sayuri sends Auntie a letter, asking about reopening the okiya. One day Auntie comes back to get Sayuri, to open up the okiya. They go back and find it’s in ruins. It takes them much time, but they get it cleaned up. She also meets back up with Pumpkin. Pumpkin is very rude, but got much more attractive. Her face thinned out, and looked more grown up. I think Sayuri thought Pumpkin would become more popular because of her looks, but then her attitude and loud mouth ruined this for her. One night she finds Nobu, and Nobu wants to become her danna. For some reason Sayuri doesn’t want this, even though she likes Nobu a lot.
