this one's for alyssa, get some cosplay and make some boffer weapons for me! i larp you!
This title is in no way a false assumption, while among some geisha there were performers, others were competetive in the sport of arousing men, physically/sexually. In Japanese, Geisha means artist While there are in fact misconceptions, it is common & encouraged for Geisha to have a client called a danna in which Geishas are more personally engaged with sexually. Saburuko (early geisha's) were the result of an increasing social displacement towards the end of the 7th century. Many women become wanderers, who, in order to survive, had to resort to trading their sexual favours. Ranging from lower class to high class were women who were quite educated & talented.
There is evidence that after the defeat of the Toyotomi Clan, many daughters and young wives of the high-ranking samurai found themselves displaced within society. In order to be able to make a living for themselves, they turned to prostitution. While official quarters were not completely finished until November of 1626, the doors of the only licensed pleasure quarters in Edo opened for business in November of 1618. Before you judge my statement, please refer to looking some factual information up, as I do know and respect the opinions of those who disagree. sorry to offend. the mediocracy of youtube is to make titles that catch attention. Obviously it did yours well enough for you to leave such concerning comments.

  • Wait a minute, you actually said you like knowing about something before you degrade it? HA! If that was true you wouldn't have come out and said "Geisha are prostitutes!" like a culturally inept child. Reading a Wikipedia article doesn't count as doing "research", especially if you don't do anything other than that. If you REALLY do some research, you would know a Dana is a exclusive right, and not every geisha has one.

  • @itachisaysusuck @itachisaysusuck i meant in no way to be offensive. it was a joke title. chill man. for real, i know where the term geisha originated and i respect the art of it. i was referreing back to 1618-1626 where geishas had to resort to it subserviently.

  • Awesome, I subscribed :D

  • @iwant2sing thank u!!

  • Geisha are geisha and prostitutes are prostitutes! It's like compairing apples and oranges. How culturally insensitive are you? What are you, an expert because you read something somewhere once? And this is a GROSS interpretation of geisha makeup and the hair is a disgusting mess! I am deeply sickened by this video, the title, your sidebar "education" and most of all your attitude! Geisha are steeped in a long history full of culture, pride and artistry, you reflect none of this in the least.

  • @rorochan77 im sorry you were so offended. i in no way meant to degrade the form of art. i have done my research, and in the fun and play of "critical mediocracy" - named it so. i know where the term geisha originated and i respect the art of it. i was referreing back to 1618-1626 where geishas had to resort to it subserviently as men were the reseans for their resolution to making yen.

  • fucking disgusting. The title of this video...eugh! I bet that u have never even been to Kyoto...pathetic. Thats' right, I'm judging u just like how u judge the maiko & geiko world. Remove this video, troll

  • @yunadustrialtwifan So sex isn't art?

    Oh and by the way, "prostitution" isn't restricted to sex. Anyone can be a prostitute without being sexual.

  • geishas are not prostitutes at all. dont say thay are when there not. the word geisha actualy means artist thay are danceres and thay are musisians thay entertain people at tea parties and all that stuff. thats what a gaisha is. and thats not a prostitute.

  • @xxsugarcookies u could use dark colored hair nets as well =]

  • Geisha are actually JUST entertainers- however, in old days, if a customer wanted to sleep with them, to refuse the customer was frowned upon. But in modern times, the Maiko or Geisha can refuse or accept as they please.

    That being said, actually a pretty nice tutorial for Geisha hair- you should try to use wax, or something, to make it look more put together instead of messy :3

  • es lo malo de la ignorancia ¬¬
