The geisha system is thought to have emerged in the 17th century to provide a class of entertainers set apart from courtesans and prostitutes, who plied their trades respectively among the nobility and samurai. The geisha system was traditionally a form of indentured labour, although some girls, attracted by the glamour of the life, volunteered. Usually, a girl at an early age was given by her parents for a sum of money to a geisha house, which taught, trained, fed, and clothed her for a period of years. Then she emerged into the society known as karyūkai (the “flower and willow world”) and began earning money to repay her parents’ debt and her past keep. The most sought-after geisha could command large sums from their customers. Besides providing entertainment and social companionship, geisha sometimes maintained sexual relationships with their clients.

In the 1920s there were as many as 80,000 geisha in Japan, but by the late 20th century their number had dwindled to only a few thousand, almost all confined to Tokyo and Kyōto, where they were patronized by only the wealthiest businessmen and most influential politicians. This decline in numbers was chiefly due to the easier availability of more casual forms of sex in postwar Japan; bar hostesses have taken over the geisha’s role with the ordinary Japanese businessman.

When a geisha marries, she retires from the profession. If she does not marry, she usually retires as a restaurant owner, teacher of music or dance, or trainer of young geisha.
