The Geishas of Tokyo - (vol. #01)

A geisha is a traditional Japanese artist and entertainer trained in arts such as dance, singing, and music, with the purpose of entertaining guests at high-ranking dinners and events. Their training, which begins as teenagers as maiko (apprentices), lasts years and requires great dedication and sacrifice. Geishas are not prostitutes, but artists who offer their cultured company and performances as an art form, embodying an ideal of femininity, grace, and Japanese culture.
