no they are not. there actually bring in Russia girls to Korea and Japan. i'm russian like you, this shouldn't be news.

dying...

Geisha were not prostitutes. It was American soldiers in WWII who propagated this mistaken knowledge. The prostitutes were known as "oiran" and "taiyuu" and though they had similarities to geisha in appearances (to American soldiers anyway), there were amazingly distinct differences in appearance as well. The massive amount of hair-sticks and ornaments in an oiran's hair for example, or the obi tied in the front rather than the back.

First geishas were prostitutes. I learn that in one geisha's biography who oppened in the end her okiya and formed maikos. Geisha's name was Kinu. Just I don't remember now the name of the autor (Kinu's friend wrote Kinu's story).

I fuck jap girls for dinner

No, there is another word for it. I don't remember what it was, but "Geishas" do not have sex at all! They are professionals. The other ones are the prostitutes.

JESUS CHRIST THIS IS FALSE. ancient culture is coming back , more people are looking into the ancient art of being a geisha. it is a refined and beautiful thing , not some sort of sex thing. a true geisha would never reveal her age, her salary........ and did i hear maiko and china? this isnt even about japan -_- retard

ugh, so true! they ar artists, who are paid by wealthy business men to host parties and engage in deply intellectual conversation. they make tons of money for being smart and powerful in their own right

You idiots. Geishas are NOT for sex. There is ANOTHER Japanese word for one that LOOKS like a Geisha, but is used for sex. GEISHA IS NOT SEXDOLL!

you've got wrong the information.

some not all

what? "racist remarks"?! Did I say that japanese women are bad?I learn much books which concerns geishas and japan. In some geisha's autobiographies if you search you can find ex geishas who says that they were obligated to prostitute themselves.After the second war they stopped.

the movie is not based on fact do your own research.

that's called the pleasure dome they where not real geisha why don't you actually do your research before making such racist back grounding remarks.

The first geishas were prostitutes. Almost every nights clients had sex with geishas.(I learn this in some geishas biographies.they told taht they had to h After the second war geisha's prostitution was forbidden. Geishas are not prostitutes anymore.

AUGH! okay these beautiful women are not for sex! they are learning one of the most beautiful arts in japan's history! Ever since memoirs of a geisha the geisha house's had to keep putting down costarmers because the coustemmers keep paying for sex. ....sorry just had to get that off my chest... also my friend is a geisha! ^^

so video says they are high class whores (6:30) and then it says that is wishful thinking? wtf! i am confused! how much is a maiko?

Whores, who can sing and dance! Artist....pfft!

ok so geisha is for enteraintment for the clients.. and they have sex whose the clients has alot of furtune

I can't believe you people are so ignorant. You know this isnt memoirs of a geisha! This is a great culture and im proud of my being japanese. Haven't we proved that at all? Like clara said these women are artists not sex entertainers! Go to Kyoto and see for yourself. They are beautiful smart and charming and the most they will show you is a little wrist. A traditional japanese may amaze and delight even the most tough of skeptics! God Bless!
