I wish I was a Geisha...

How much cost the entertainment of a Geisha?
-
It has always surprised me how westerns talk about many other cultures where they do not know by far but they talk as if they are really knowers of everything, traveling for a couple of weeks and people may talk: I know India so well or this or that! I would like 2 find this kind of stuff presented by the people of their own country which live their traditions & present them, even not always 1 is well informed about our own traditions! 4sure Geisha has never been prostitute but people of honor!

The women in this video are not even Geisha they are Maiko.

@SaltySweetSS What did you think of the film compared to the novel? I saw the film, enjoyed it, now I am half way through the book and just rewatched the movie and really didn't like it.

Thats somehow offensive to Japanese to say that Gaishas were prostitutes..
they weren't and they aren't.. yeah as @vanillabeanbean;said A Geisha is meant to tempt but never offer herself in such a way (which means never give her body in such a way...) i guess u need to read at least the book written by Liza dalby to understand more about Geishas and the flowers and willows world leave the modern world behind ? whats that ? contrary to that the Geisha is always up to date ...

What the-
Nehhh! As a Japanese, I find this highly offensive!
Geishas were never prostitutes, not even early ones, they were distinctly different from Oiran (prostitutes) and are trained in elegant arts
And what is with them and saying "seduction"? A geisha is meant to tempt, but never offer herself in such a way!
They talk as if these women are animals to be watched and prodded
"Leave the modern world behind"? These women do interact with others

I think the topic of Geisha is really really interesting, especially since I'm reading Memoirs of a Geisha right now :) They seem so mysterious. People always think that Geishas are prostitutes, but they're obviously not.
