How do geisha influence Japanese culture? The Geisha is described as a highly skilled teacher of art, music, singing, conversation, poetry, tea ceremony, dance, etc. They are the high class hostesses in parties. In reality the first Geisha were men, after which they began to involve Female Geisha. Initially they began to appear only in teahouses, but later also as published entertainers. It is important to understand the role of Geisha in Japanese culture, they like equipment that helps carry Japanese culture forward and not let it fade away. During the Edo period, in the early 1600s, the Japanese government established a place for entertainers, absolutely including Geisha, which meant that they could only work in the place set up by the government, called the “Pleasure District” (Salvador, n.d., par. 7). The first generation of Geisha were men, people believed that women could not entertain themselves at parties, these men kept the conversation going and put on shows. But after 1750, most Geisha were women. The first Geisha were dancers (Odoriko) or musicians who played Shamisen. They performed during dinner and entertained customers in the teahouse. The evolution of the Geisha, from man to woman, shows the changes in Japanese culture. Women began to have roles in society; they can do the jobs of educated and educated men, such as politics and business. The geisha escaped male control, which was extremely important at that time, and freely created lifestyles. Even during the 1860s, the golden age of the geisha, the geisha became acceptable for women. They were fashionable and became fashion leaders for the Japanese woman, this made the woman continue to be interested in traditional things, such as the Kimono. In 1875, Geisha took on a role as a public entertainer. They began to appear in Kabuki and became... middle of paper... shion leaders who make the Kimono still popular in society. They are also the ones who spread Japanese culture to be known throughout Japan and the rest of the world, which ensures that it does not fade away. However, according to the Western culture introduced in 1920 in Japan, Geisha began to fade away, no one carried forward Japanese culture, people also began to fade their own culture. Personalities, I believe the Japanese government will not let them disappear. They are part of the history and identity of Japanese culture, without them many traditional cultures would disappear. Thus, geisha are an important cog in Japanese culture. They are unique and popular at the end of the Geisha age. At a time when women are under male control, Geisha freely create a lifestyle and maintain Japanese culture with them. They are not only high class hostesses, but are people of art whose spirit is truly Japanese.
