What is the job of a Japanese geisha?

Geisha in Japan is a performing arts profession in Japan. Japanese geisha, like living ancient cultural relics, has continued to the modern times. As the carrier of Japanese traditional culture, geisha itself has become one of the symbols of Japanese traditional culture. This phenomenon is unique to Japan. From the perspective of "professional singing and dancing", geisha and professional artists are different. They usually only perform some song and dance sketches at banquets, mainly for the opposite sex.

Professional characteristics of geisha

Geisha must maintain a sense of mystery and a special temperament, so they stay away from the secular and live in seclusion, except for banquets, singing and dancing. They are trained in classical art, singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting, flower patterns in tea ceremony and extremely complicated honorifics in upper class. Everything of them strictly abides by the ancient teachings, dressed in kimonos, with towering hair, white powder on their faces and silk umbrellas in their hands, just like coming out of ancient paintings, almost becoming the embodiment of Japanese traditional culture.
