MODERN GEISHA

                                          
Currently, women who choose to become geisha will do it for free, girls are not sold, and they do keep up the tradition of his country. The ceremonies remain the same, but thechoice is mizuage.

Many are students, allowing them to get money for college, speak several languages, and study the same arts of the geisha in antiquity (playing the shamisen, or flute, dance, tea ceremony, etc.). , some are even married and combine their activities housewives, to begeisha. Manage Internet, talk on the phone, and there's even one that even has a Webpage where it has a hanamachi life (I read somewhere, but I do not know your e = O (). The theme of sexuality, it is also something left to their choice, and there is even one that may have a danna.

The proliferation of pubs, discos and bars, has made other business was born, as are the bridesmaids, young Japanese who are in these stores, catering to clients attempting to consume large amounts of alcohol.
Because of this phenomenon, and after World War II, the number of geisha and maiko has decreased considerably, from 80,000, to 25,000 in the Meiji Era, and only 10,000 in the current era.


In any case, to see these beautiful women, full of many details and symbols transport us tothat time, and perhaps part of his sadness on their faces hid mime, reflecting a bucolic image of them, but in his role as theater have always shown the world the image of sympathy, charm and fascination. A world of women, controlled by women.
