having watched a tv programme about geisha's
and following a long and sometimes heated debate with my girl...

i wonder are geisha's REALLY art...or is this a way of patrons justifying spending large sums of money on female company...

yes its a great little snap-shot into life in another time....
...yes it takes a certain amount of work...
...sure the kimono's are very pretty....

but is it ART??

possibly...but if it were then the geisha's themselves would be the art...as aposed to the artist...perhaps the "mother" could be called the artist..

and what i wonder....is art or not....does the popularity of geisha not primarely revolve around the fact that they are pretty dolled up girls?

just wondereing what peoples take on this is...some Jopinions would be nice also
