Geisha
Geisha (芸者) (; Japanese: [ɡeːɕa]), also known as geiko (芸子) (in Kyoto and Kanazawa) or geigi (芸妓) are a class of female entertainers from Japan trained in traditional styles of performing art, such as Japanese dance, music and singing. Their distinct appearance is characterized by long, trailing kimono, traditional hairstyles and oshiroi make-up. Contrary to popular belief, geisha are not prostitutes; this misconception originated in the West due to the conflation of Japanese courtesans, modern day courtesan reenactors, the extant tayū, and sex workers, who historically also wore kimono.
