They have amazing talent in singing, dancing, conversing, and classical music. They are also known to be skilled in calligraphy, poetry, games, and art. They use their skills to entertain, especially the men. The Geisha stood as the traditional courtesan culture of Japan. To this day, the culture and tradition continue.
