Perhaps one of the first thing we think about when Japan is mentioned is the tradition of Geisha. The original Geisha hardly resembles the modern Geisha, as they were men, however by 1780 women were dominating the profession; by 1920’s there were about 80,000 Geisha’s in Japan, now there are about 1000. They are professional entertainers trained in a variety of Japanese arts, which can take as long as a medical degree. This talk will take you through the history of this very interesting tradition.
This talk will be recorded and will be available to listen to for 4 weeks.
