(Geisha) yuri

Geisha are highly skilled entertainers in Japan, known for their talents in singing, dancing, playing instruments, and conversation. They provide chic and gaiety for wealthy clientele. The geisha system emerged in the 17th century, initially as indentured labor. By the late 20th century, their numbers dwindled due to changing social norms. Geisha typically retire upon marriage or pursue other professions within the arts.
