The image of a refined Geisha, gracefully pouring sake for a man, is quite a popular image in Japan. But Geishas were not sex workers, as many people think, they were for visual pleasure, for refined conversation…. Refinement, refined manners, the ability to maintain a conversation about anything - to captivate a guest not only with the prospect of an erotic date, but to give him aesthetic pleasure. Geishas did not become servants pouring sake and playing the shamisen. They were cared for, they were respected, and if she poured a glass for a guest, then he certainly had to pour her one in return 😉 One-time sex with Geishas was impossible. If a Japanese man needs a woman for the night, he goes to a prostitute, if he wants more intimate, sophisticated, original intimacy, he goes to a Geisha. But such relationships had to be formalized accordingly. The word Geisha literally means "Person of Art" SHADES OF LOVE ♥️ #geisha #shadesoflove #drawing_pencile #drawingart #love #artist #LAart...
