Think you know what a Geisha is, really? Forget the Hollywood myths! We're revealing the shocking truth about the first male geishas, deadly lead makeup, and the bizarre tradition of teeth blackening.
In this video, we dive deep into the secret world of Japan's "people of the arts" to separate fact from fiction. You'll learn why a geisha is not a courtesan (yūjō), and how the simple placement of the kimono's sash (obi) could reveal everything about a woman. We'll break down the horrifying price girls paid for beauty: from the poisonous white face paint to hairstyles that caused baldness, which was considered a badge of honor.
This video is for anyone interested in the history and culture of Japan who wants to understand the true essence of one of the world's most mysterious professions. We'll show you the grueling training of young apprentices (maiko) in their geisha houses (okiya), the role of their patron (danna), and why their beautiful smile was, in reality, not pearly white, but jet-black.
