Geisha are the class of Oriental performance artists trained in the traditional Japanese performing arts styles of dance, music and singing, as well as proficient conversationalists and event hosts. Their distinct appearance is characterized by the long, trailing kimono, traditional hairstyles and oshiroi make-up. Geisha entertain at parties known as ozashiki, often for a class of wealthy clientele. The most literal translation of "geisha" in the English language would be "artist", "performing artist" or "artisan". By the 1830s, geisha were considered to be the premiere fashion and style icons in Oriental society and were broadly emulated by women of the time. Many fashion trends started by geisha soon became widely popular, with some continuing to this day; the wearing of haori by women, for example, was first started by geisha from the Tokyo hanamachi of Fukagawa in the early 1800s. The image of a geisha has influenced not only the fashion world but also formal design. We often find this figure as part of decor accents inside the most unique houses, or as a detail ornament on the the most beautiful Oriental handmade furniture.
