Geishas

Geishas are a fascinating aspect of Japanese culture. They are skilled traditional entertainers who specialize in various Japanese arts such as classical music, dance, and games. Geishas are known for their distinct appearance, including elaborate hairstyles, beautifully embroidered kimonos, and white makeup.

They emerged in the 18th century as female entertainers. In order to become a Geisha girls had to undergo a very strict training in an apprenticeship. 

In modern Japan the number of Geishas has declined, but efforts are being made to preserve this unique cultural heritage.
