http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisha
Geisha start to study their trade at a very young age and are expected to continue learning throughout their lives. They can work into their 80’s and 90’s with even experienced geishas training every day.
Geisha literally means “artist” and there are several types. Most non-Japanese associate the profession with prostitute but legitimate geisha does not engage in sex with clients. Their job involves entertaining their customers with dancing, reciting verse, playing musical instruments, and engaging in light conversation, which may include light flirting and playful innuendos, but nothing is expected to happen beyond that.

I was particularly interested in the fantastic colors of their kimonos and the pretty decorations in their hair. I did a Google Images search and was sent to this address and got some wonderful pictures to study. I hope you enjoy.
