The Japanese.
To simplify Geisha wear beautiful and elaborate kimono made of expensive silk, an obi, (plus many under-kimono ties and layers), tabi sock, zori or oboko shoes, and hair kanzashi. What a Geisha wears depends very much on the month and event. She has certain kimono and certain kanzashi that she will only wear during designated months or days.
Geisha are strictly Japanese.
Geisha usually retire when they reach a certain age, or feel they have done enough in that calling. But, some continue working. The world's oldest Geisha is Kokin, she is 98 years old and still performs as a Geisha daily!

Geisha were main parts of 'Geisha, a life' and 'Memoirs of a Geisha'
No, it's almost impossible for anyone not Asian to be a Geisha. The only acceptance ever made was Liz Dalby who did her dissertation on Geisha. She lived in Japan for several years and spoke with the Geisha and they decided to let her train to become one. She has a fascinating book called Geisha, you should check it out if you have an interest in them. It's very good.
Geisha are probably inspired by the Geisha that have come before them. Geisha themselves are living works of art.
