In Japan, a geisha is a female professional entertainer of men. No no, hear us out. Although some have ravishing looks that could be misinterpreted as flirtatious, geisha are not to be mistaken for courtesans and prostitutes. Once a Geisha accomplishes her training, she is hired to perform during banquets in tea houses, places where the well to do gentlemen meet for business and leisure. Apart from having entertainment qualities, geisha are also sources of important information obtained while overhearing their hosts’ conversations during performances. Yes, we also like that part. And last but not least, geisha are patronized by only the wealthiest businessmen and most influential politicians.
