How do you become a geisha?

Unless you are Japanese (or a very determined westerner..look at Fiona Graham) you won't. You can become something *similar* to a geisha though, by refining yourself (language, posture, fashion, self-care, conversational skills, etc.) learning all you can about world events, and learning a "gei" (an art...think ballet, or piano). Traditionally, a girl was sold to the Okiya by her poor family, to boost income. She spent years training to be a geisha, and "came of age" and made her debut in her mid 20s. The modern geisha choose to enter the profession. They don't start training until they are 15 years old (Japanese law prevents them from starting any sooner). They graduate their training, and become "full" geisha in their mid 20s, sometimes later.
