How It All Goes Down
- Sayuri is obsessed with the Chairman.
- Like a young girl searching for her favorite celebrity in Tiger Beat, Sayuri buys all the business newspapers and magazines looking for info on him. Does the Wall Street Journal have a centerfold?
- She learns that although the Chairman founded Iwamura Electric, he "owe[s] Nobu a great debt" (18.6) and it's really Nobu in charge.
- Later, Mameha has another of her weird plans.
- She dresses Sayuri in a torn kimono, then stabs her leg with a knife to make it look like she cut herself. Yikes.
- They take her to a man named Dr. Crab to look at the wound.
- When she's all patched up, Mameha takes her to an artist named Uchida-san to show her off (and hope he will paint her someday).
