Mizuage in Geisha tradition is now often combined with the ceremony of erikae (the act of 'turning the collar' from red (maiko) to white (geisha) ). In some traditions the mizuage ceremony signifies her transition into senior maiko status. In other traditions with the combo of erikae, it signifies the maiko's transition from girlhood into womanhood, and her soon to be debut as a geisha. A party is held for the maiko, and the top-knot of her hair is cut. Maiko hairstyles use the girl's real hair, but geisha wear wigs. The days following, the maiko will make her first debut as a full geisha.
Geisha usually become 'full-fledged Geisha' around the ages of 20 to 22.

In the novel, Memoirs of a Geisha, the main charcter (Sayuri) was forced to leave the Gion district of Kyoto because of World War II. Not only did she and other prominent geisha have to leave, but ordinary civilians left because the war had begun to ruin the city. As usual, the war put a strain on Japan economically! Therefore, the people of Kyoto basically had to start their lives over because the war had took away everything. The business owners i.e., The Chairman and Nobu, lost their businesses and began to depend on the intruding Americans to help them rebuild their lifestyles. Because they depended on the Americans at this point, Sayuri was able to leave "hiding" and return as a geisha. Only, the world had changed tremendously and the real meaning of a geisha had been altered. Since then, the impression of a geisha has been known as a prostitute because of the many women who took advantage of the real geisha being away during the war!
