However, it's important to clarify some common misconceptions about geishas:
1. Geishas are not girls with loose morals: This is a common stereotype, but it is inaccurate. Geishas are professional entertainers, highly skilled in traditional Japanese arts, such as music, dance, and conversation. They are not prostitutes. Geishas uphold a strict code of conduct and professionalism.
2. Geishas create an atmosphere of importance and luxury: Geishas do indeed play a significant role in Japanese social and cultural events. They are skilled in conversation, traditional arts, and hosting. Geishas are often hired to provide entertainment and create an elegant, refined atmosphere at gatherings, such as banquets and tea ceremonies.
3. Geishas primarily entertain men: While geishas do entertain male clients, they also provide entertainment for women and mixed-gender gatherings. Geishas are not limited to entertaining men exclusively.
