Yes they are. It takes many years to train to become a geisha. They learn clever conversation skills, to play Musical Instruments, poetry to recite and of course the intricacies of the rirualistic tea ceremony.

They are not, as commonly believed in the West, prostitutes, but highly trained professionals in a field that we have no parallel to.

For me, I would not appreciate the formalities and rituals as I would not understand them and I am too arthritic to sit on the floor
