These girls are not Geisya san. They are Maiko han (Kyoto dialect), apprentice of Geisya san. In the western world there is one big untruth circulating that Geisya san are prostitutes. They have never taken and will never ever take customers for money for sexual services, they are traditional Japanese artists for witty conversations, singing, music, dances. A kind of superwoman in Kimonos you should imagine. These girls are next generation Geisya san, still learning how to entertain guests in traditional Japanese ways. They usually are sponsored by Danna san - a gentleman, he will take care her both financially and her life after. Geisya san is against common westerner belief no way only young ladies, but the most famous Geisya san in Tokyo area is well over 70 years old. Japanese people enjoy her entertainment skill just like one enjoy well stored wines. Both gets into perfection with ages. Spirit of Sabi.
