When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
Keiko, also known as Mama, tells her story: she's a Ginza hostess, 30, and a widow. She describes life's vicious cycle: acting cheerful in the presence of drunks, dressing and living well to convey confidence, needing money for these expenses as well as for her demanding mother and brother, and being aware that she is growing older. She has reached the age when she must choose between seeking marriage (difficult given her tarnished occupation), being a kept woman, and borrowing money to open her own bar. Each path has risks, such as investors demanding a return on their loans. Keiko exudes a quiet dignity that attracts men, but are they all they appear to be? Is it true that she has options?
