Geisha


'Geisha' (ja:芸者 "person of the arts") are traditional Japanese artist-entertainers. Geisha were very common in the 18th and 19th centuries, and are still in existence today, although their numbers are dwindling. "Geisha," pronounced /("gei-" rhymes with "may") is the most familiar term to English speakers. Geisha take lessons in several arts forms for most of their lives, not for just entertaining customers but for a lifetime of learning. Geisha houses sometimes brought in girls from poor families and trained them. During their childhood, geisha sometimes worked first as maids, and then as apprentice geisha (maiko) during their training. This tradition of training exists as well in other traditions in Japan, when a student lives at the home, starting out doing housework and assisting the master, and eventually becoming a master geisha.
