The story centers around two sisters (Umekichi and Omocha), who are geisha, living in an okiya of their own in the licensed pleasure district of Gion, Kyoto. The two women have very different outlooks on relationships with men. Umekichi, the elder sister, is the ideal geisha; she grew up going to dance and music lessons, wears kimono, and has a strong sense of giri, or loyalty, to her patron. Umekichi’s younger sister, Omocha, was educated in public schools and wears western clothing, except when she is working as a geisha. Unlike Umekichi, Omocha doesn’t trust men and believes that they will only use geisha and then abandon them without a care. Thus, she uses men to her own advantage. In doing so she is willing to manipulate and lie to her customers.

Dans l'attente d'un train retardé, le docteur Sokichi Hara se remémore ses années de jeunesse : il songe à Osen, la geisha qui, jadis, l'avait recueilli et l'avait sauvé d'un suicide. Osen, honteusement exploitée par une bande de trafiquants, avait pu courageusement rompre avec ceux-ci, puis se consacrer à Sokichi, lui permettant de manger à sa faim et de poursuivre des études en médecine. Elle estimait ainsi combler les vœux de la grand-mère du jeune homme dont elle croyait être la réincarnation. Mais, un jour, accusée de vol et de prostitution, Osen fut arrêtée. Après des adieux déchirants, elle transmit à Okichi une cigogne en papier qu'elle sortit de son kimono. Profondément ému, le jeune homme fut, à cet instant-là, renversé par l'automobile d'un de ses enseignants qui, pris de compassion, l'aida et le protégea.
