i think you misunderstand the purpose of this thread....
its not to degrade geshia....
but it is simply to ask the question....what are they....
one cannot call them ARTISTS...... but it is also wrong to say that waht they do....dancing, singing, make tea...[is not] is AN art...
its a grey zone....
also ANYONE can be geshia.....its not that hard....sure its a skill...but everyone can do it....there are many things that NOT everyone can do...geshia is not one of them.

I disagree. To be a geisha, you have to have the talent, body coordinates, hardwork ethic, and lots of practice. Not everyone can remember the movements or the tradition, it is hard. They are a art, entertaining with a old tradition. So No, not just "anyone" can do, it is like indian dancing, they have hand movements for the sun and the moon and others, and if you do it wrong you look horrible. Not everyone can move their body like that and be graceful and beautiful as a geisha girl.
