☞Who was a Geisha? Etymologically speaking, "gei 芸" means art; "sha 者", a person. She was an artist. An artist of what? She was an artist of love-making. Like any true artist, she was not just a business person. Of course, business was important, but it was not all. Besides, her art of love-making was not just a libidinous unification of the two bodies. It included music, dance, and sophisticated conversations about any subject. She even discussed love. She was not supposed to show her really self as a lawyer or a actor is not supposed to. Nevertheless, if she could not help it, she exposed her own fragile self. That was the very moment of sheer pleasure only available to the limited number of the privileged gentlemen. When Komako the Onsen - hot spa Geisha in Yasunari Kawabata's «Snow Country / Yukiguni» 川端康成「雪国」defenselessly showed her pure love to her client, she was as beautiful as white snow. On the other hand, the real professional Geishas in Kafu Nagai's «Rivalry / Udekurabe» 永井荷風「腕くらべ」took pride in their psychological love technique.
