If you think that geisha are a thing of the past, you are mistaken: they still exist in Japan today! They host tea ceremonies, serve in traditional Japanese restaurants, and work as musicians, comedians, and tamadas.
However, real geisha today are rare, and their numbers are declining. So, if you find yourself in Japan, you are more likely to take selfies with a costumed entertainer who has no knowledge of the ancient Eastern art.
