Geisha Wallpapers

Geisha anime - wallpapers: Geisha (芸者 "person of the arts") are traditional Japanese artist-entertainers. Geisha were very common in the 18th and 19th centuries, and are still in existence today, although their numbers are dwindling. "Geisha," pronounced /ˈgeɪ ʃa/ ("gay-sha") is the most familiar term to English speakers, and the most commonly used within Japan as well, but in the Kansai region the terms geigi (芸妓, げいぎ) and, for apprentice geisha, geiko (芸子, げいこ) have also been used since the Meiji Restoration. The English pronunciation ˈgi ʃa ("gee-sha") or the phrase "geisha girl," common during the American occupation, carry connotations of prostitution, as some young women, desperate for money and calling themselves "geisha", sold themselves to American troops.
