  • According to The Other Wiki, geisha, also known as geiko or geiki, are traditional Japanese female entertainers whose skills include traditional music and dance, fine conversation, and tea ceremony. Geishas are easily recognizable by their hairstyle, their elaborate kimonos and their white make-up. Geishas who have not yet completed their training are called maiko ("dance-child"), and tend to be more colorfully arrayed than their adult counterparts, with different hair pieces for each month, and different styles for her levels of apprenticeship. A young maiko is supported by her onee-san (big sister) and when she fully graduates, she will be a single entertainer/businesswoman.
  • Geisha (pronounced /ˈɡeɪʃə/), like all Japanese nouns, has no distinct singular or plural variants. The word consists of two kanji, 芸 (gei) meaning "art" and 者 (sha) meaning "person" or "doer". The most literal translation of geisha into English would be "artist" or "performing artist". Another name for geisha used in Japan is geiko, which is usually used to refer to geisha from Western Japan, including Kyoto.
