Near Geisha training? - 10/7/2006 8:35:16 PM

Status: offline 		I just finished watching Memoirs of a Geisha, again.  It really is a beautiful movie as long as you can view something without imposing reality on it.

When I think of training I think of learning how to bellydance (done), Of learning how to cook favorite meals (done), and of practicing the grace and artfulness of a geisha.  I love everything about the look. 

I know a person just cannot go out and become a geisha.  But has anyone ever heard of training that was somewhat similar?

Thanks,
Kyst

I realise that it is a lifetime of learning.  But I wouldn't mind learning something that has the same feel.

But really, learn about the art of grace and allow grace to flow from all that you do with an ember of passion.

Status: offline 		In the West the term which is usually used for the same role is 'courtesan.' Of course, it's also sometimes used for lesser level persons, but it's still the correct word, and one can find many examples of courtesans in the west who were the equal of any geisha. It might help you in your searches to learn more about this sort of person.
