The Japanese "Geisha" is someone who is able to entertain guests at events such as gala dinners. Geishas pass a rigorous school, and branded products is very high - it costs hundreds of dollars to get to a restaurant with a Geisha (which is a luxury car). Besides talking with the guests, and serving their needs (things like lighting their cigarettes for them), Geishas are the masters of traditional dance and musical instruments.
This type of geisha, as I have described, still exists in Japan, including Tokyo, Kyoto and Tokyo district, but have been replaced by a modernized version of traditional Japanese long. The modern world of the geisha is not officially associated with the conventional means of popular classic geisha, and I mean no disrespect to compare.
Instead of a traditional Japanese teahouse, and expensive restaurants where you can enjoy a formal company, high level Geisha, now things are much more casual. These modern geisha, known as hosts or hostesses are simply a good man or a woman (beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose), what to eat, drink, dance and sing karaoke with you, and make sure there isn ' t one of inactivity during the night. . There are special clubs that host or hostess are these, with "Mama", which is responsible for them in every place, of course, all costs are the customers and they are expensive - all drinks ordered in the table must be sorted as a host / hostess do not get drunk because they are secretly served refreshments.
The concept of the Japanese hosts and hostesses is similar to calling a comedian or a clown party - They deal with people talking, laughing and with a saving of time in general good. That's why it is not uncommon to see groups of women or children, sometimes go to clubs and enjoy the company of the host or hostess of a lively atmosphere. The Japanese, however, form a lasting relationship with its modern geisha. These customers will benefit from the night outside of a particular club, but are involved in private restaurants, karaoke rooms, etc, all at a price of course.
