Geishas Martin Siepmann/ age fotostock
Contrary to popular belief, the Geisha has nothing to do with a prostitute. They are actually artists with a perfect knowledge of Japanese traditional arts. They work in restaurants, tea houses and inns, where they sing, dance and entertain their guests. With their made-up faces, they dress in special attire and enjoy prestige and admiration of the Japanese people. The Geisha training is tough and lengthy. It lasts four years during which they develop charm, balance and spirit in an environment of discipline and rigour.
