I would love to become geisha. It sounds challenging, interesting, and fun.



Non-Japanese cannot become geisha... 19 months ago

... but we can sure as hell translate geisha-hood into Western terms. And that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to be a complete American geisha, mind, body, heart and soul.

That’s what I think being Geisha is- when you’re not Asian and you only have so much access to the Geiko lifestyle. It’s a place you put yourself that no one else need know about.

I own a book called “Acting Techniques for Everyday Life.” And it teaches you how you can take on the character, thusly enhancing your own self (the image you have for yourself along with the image you present,) of- say- movie characters you admire. I sometimes take what I understand of Geisha and try to apply some of the techniques from this book.

I might be able to hold it for an hour, maybe a couple of days, but it helps me present myself as I like and it helps me crack the shell I put up around myself.

And Geisha are quite charming people, so go on with yo’Geisha self! Its fun when you play with it a bit. For example, the book suggests “Props” to help you remember your role and how you want to present yourself in given situations. I sometimes think “Corset.” Which, in my mind, refrences the Geisha Obi sash/belt that gives them their perfect posture and grace. Or, when the weather is good, my sandals sometimes do the trick.

Think of ways to Be Geisha in your own way. A Trip to Kyoto might not be feasible and the nearest Chinatown might not have what you’re seeking- so create it for yourself!
