The Japanese Culture

Japan is known for its very good and very beautiful entertainers called geisha . Geisha in Japanese means artist . The history of geisha began during the 11th century when two women created a new kind of dance to entertain warriors . They wore white dresses to represent the court dresses of warriors . They also wore hats , long white gown and sword . The dance attracted many people and the dress was change to

black hat and red skirt . The sword disappeared . From then on , many people have a belief that the two women are the early predecessors of geisha . But there are hearsays that geisha were previously men who entertained in a place called water world . But eventually the male entertainers were replaced with female ones

Geisha are professional and their main work is to entertain guests through many different performing arts in an O-chaya . They basically took hard trainings in ancient dancing , singing , playing instruments wearing kimono , tea ceremonial , serving alcoholic drinks , conversing writing calligraphy and many other things needed to become a real geisha . These trainings last for many years until they perfected those crafts and skills

A geisha is said to be successful if she already shown her endless beauty and charm , grace , creative talents , good manners and refinement Guests who have long time affiliation with the tea house are permitted to take a geisha and mainly tea houses do not allow any new clients without prior notice and formal introduction . Geisha 's business is generally an expensive business and in fact a single geisha party costs thousands of US dollars . During the 1920 's , there were about 80 ,000 geishas all over Japan however , this big number dropped to 10000 because of the western influence to Japanese culture

One good thing about Geisha is that it serves as a mirror of how wonderful Japanese culture is . They show how hospitable Japanese are and from the intensive trainings of geisha , we can see the dedication from them which prove that Japanese are really disciplined people

They play an important role in the Japanese society . Geisha women are good role models and they usually went on international tours to strengthen affairs with other nation . With their charming moves and pretty face , they can bring happiness and fulfillment to anyone . They exhibit a strong relationship with men . For some they are called prostitutes but actually they are not . They just entertain

Geisha have the will to have a patron , also known as Danna in which they may affect emotionally , economically and sexually . To stay beautiful and attractive they wear their hair in a bun styled with a comb and two pins . One of their main training is to dress with elegant kimonos and apply white make-up . Every time they got an entertainment show in banquets and parties , considerable money was given to them After any party , the things discuss in the occasion was kept secret...
