Interesting, but what exactly is a Geisha? I mean, I know what it is in general, but what was the historic purpose and what is the current one?

Basically a very high-end professional artist entertainer. They play the shamisen, do dances, recite poetry and very old classical literature, serve tea, and overall set up an artistic mood. Basically something that rich people hire to provide a feeling of wealth, culture, and refinement to dinners they host.
Ah okay. That makes sense. Thank you! :)
