Geisha have always been an important part of Japanese culture. As a traditional performing art form, it has a deep cultural heritage and unique aesthetic value in the history of Japan.
For a long time, geisha were seen as a high-end service industry and were only open to men. This phenomenon did not begin to change until the end of the 20th century, and with the improvement of women's social status and the focus on gender equality in Japan, more and more women began to participate in the industry.
However, despite this, geisha still maintain their characteristic charm and mystique, mainly because of their unique image and virtuosity.
Geisha usually show off their beauty and elegance by wearing gorgeous traditional costumes such as flamboyant kimonos, elaborate makeup, and elegant postures.
The skills of geisha mainly include dancing, ** and singing, which require a long period of study and practice to master.
In addition, geisha also need to have good social and interpersonal skills in order to be able to better meet the needs and service requirements of their guests.
Because of this unique lifestyle and cultural background, geisha have become one of the legends in the hearts of Japanese people and people around the world. One of the most famous is a geisha named "Oiran", who once hosted Queen Elizabeth II.
According to legend, during her visit to Japan in 1973, the then Queen of England was invited to a banquet organized by the local mayor. At this banquet, she had the privilege of meeting the geisha, known as the "most beautiful woman", the Oiran.
It is said that at that time, the queen was completely obsessed when she saw Oiran, and even forgot that she was ** for a while, just quietly admiring her beauty and dancing.
The scene immediately caught the attention of the other guests, who speculated as to why the queen would take such a keen interest in an ordinary geisha.
Of course, this matter did not cause any controversy or conflict. On the contrary, it gives a deeper understanding of the geisha industry and the charm behind it.
To this day, both Japanese and foreigners alike have a lot of respect and curiosity for the geisha profession.
Overall, a geisha is a profession full of stories and legends. From ancient times to modern times, whether in the field of art or in life, they have an irreplaceable status and influence.
And the story that made the Queen of England jealous adds more color and depth to the artistic value of geisha.
