Best Answer

Geishas practice traditional art forms such as traditional song and dance and tea ceremony. all traditional art forms are important in Japan such as sword making and kimono making etc. Unfortunately less and less people are willing to take up these art forms and the life of a geisha is one of them: they're dying out.

First of all you have to be Japanese. There have only been a few exceptions of women becoming Geisha that were not Japanese. And that is because they were there to study the culture. You would need to be living in Japan, be around the age of 15 or 16, and have your parents consent to move out of your house and into an Okiya to completely transform your way of life into the years of training it takes to become a proper Geisha.
