Geishas
There are many misconceptions about geisha, such as the fact that they were prostitutes. The development of these speculations overshadowed the geisha's rich history and devalued their skill as professional actresses. After all, a geisha's main job was to entertain her clients with art and wit. Historically, the life of a geisha was very different from the perceptions of the West as well-dressed prostitutes who entertained in brothels. Geishas endured grueling training to gain the coveted title. Not only that, during the Edo period and for some time thereafter, the option of becoming a geisha was one of the few ways in which a Japanese woman could earn a decent living and lead a somewhat free life, while stereotypes about the craft certainly persisted. The following facts will shed light on the forgotten and neglected history of one of Japan's oldest classes.
