"Finally! A Geisha documentary that truly penetrates the art and meaning of this traditional world. Director Miyuki Sohara has gained the trust of Kyoto's various geisha communities enabling her to show what matters most to these women and the artists who support them. Hannari - self assured, bright and gorgeous - the perfect description of the modern geisha."
- Liza Dalby, Anthropologist and author of the book, Geisha (1983)
"A rare, thorough, and extremely informative look at a unique facet of Japanese culture. It opens the doors to a mysterious world that very few will ever get to experience firsthand."
-- Todd David Schwartz, CBS Radio
"A Documentary film with so much texture that one could feel the warmth and smell the air in the Geisha districts of Kyoto. Hannari gave me a strong yearning for a world we know so little."
-- Mie Asoh, ROADSHOW Magazine Columnist
