Geisha is a traditional Japanese female entertainer, whose skills include performing various arts. They usually began their training at a very young age. They learn the serving tea ceremony, conversation, literature and poetry, playing traditional instruments and dancing, among other skills.
Geisha always wear kimono and most of them live in traditional geisha houses called okiya. At present there are just a few.
The movie My Geisha (1962 - Director: Jack Cardiff, Starring: Shirley MacLaine, Yves Montand, Yoko Tani, Tatsu Saito and Edward G. Robinson) was filmed in Japan.
