geisha
geisha
Noun
pl: geisha
The term refers to a highly skilled artist and entertainer, not a courtesan. A common misconception in Western culture conflates geisha with sex workers, but the role is strictly focused on the mastery of traditional Japanese arts, hospitality, and conversation.
In a modern context, the word carries a connotation of elegance, discipline, and the preservation of cultural heritage. It is used primarily in formal or descriptive contexts regarding Japanese history and sociology.
