Geisha

A Geisha is a traditional Japanese female entertainer skilled in performing arts such as classical music, dance, and conversation, aimed at entertaining guests during social gatherings. They undergo rigorous training in arts, etiquette, and appearance, often wearing elaborate kimono and distinctive white makeup. Originating in the 18th century, Geisha serve as cultural custodians, preserving Japan’s artistic heritage. They are not prostitutes, as sometimes misunderstood, but respected performers and hostesses who provide refined entertainment and companionship. Their role emphasizes artistry, grace, and cultural tradition, making them iconic symbols of Japanese cultural history.
