How to use "Geisha" in context?
The word "geisha" comes from a Japanese word, "geiko." The literal translation of this word is "artist of the I Ching." Geisha girls were renowned in ancient Japan for their skills in the arts, particularly in tea ceremony and calligraphy.
Today, the word "geisha" is generally used to refer to an archaic profession that has been out of use for centuries. Modern day Japan has no organized geisha industry, and most geisha girls do not engage in traditional arts.
