Japan has traditionally been a male dominated society. The world of Geisha is a strictly female dominated society. While they do use their artistic talents to entertain male customers their way of life is a matriarchal hierarchy.

Geisha carry on the traditional Japanese arts of song, dance, music and conversation. Without them much of Japan's cultural artistic heritage would fade away.
