Author's Note: I always fell in love with the style of the Japanese women the traditional way that they present themselves, bringing in the look and feel of their culture. The timeperiod from the 1600's to late 1800's as the western foregners came in (like the movie Memoirs of a Geisha). Geisha are not either ordinary hostesses or prostitutes. They patiently went through extensive training to become geisha and keep improving their skills by taking many lessons.
