Geisha (Geiko or Geigi),translated to women of art, is the movement centered around Japanese women. Geisha is the entertainment of Japanese women of ancient traditions of art, music, dancing, and singing. Often times, Japanese women perform in kimonos and oshiroi makeup styles. Some Geisha performers performed sexual acts while others performed at more classy gatherings. The movement moved more towards female empowerment and beauty offering more of an intrinsic lifestyle. Training for Geisha performances begins from a very young age, often daughters of current Geisha performers are brought up along the same lifestyle.
