Geishas from Japan

The word geisha literally means "person who practices the arts." They are in charge of practicing and maintaining Japanese culture. Geishas are noted for their mastery of various types of art, which are generally traditional dances (including fan dance), singing, literature, poetry, flower arranging, and playing traditional instruments. In addition to entertaining through the arts, geishas are also experts in the art of conversation and must have a great general culture. Geisha have long embodied the epitome of refinement and are the custodians of Japanese culture and traditions. Today they are still highly respected and their loyal customers continue to spend astronomical amounts of money to enjoy their company.
