    Imagery Consistent with much Japanese art and literature‚ Memoirs of a Geisha includes a great deal of nature imagery. Traditionally‚ Japanese art features trees‚ insects‚ and bodies of water‚ just as poetry (most notably the haiku) often presents images from nature as metaphors for life’s lessons.
