O nome Gueixa tem como significado, "Pessoa que vive da Arte”.
O Ocidente sempre teve um grande interesse por este personagem da cultura Japonesa e apesar do enlevo, as Gueixas sempre foram mal interpretadas, tendo seus conceitos deturpados... A profissão de gueixa surgiu no século XVIII. Elas são artistas, submetidas a uma rigorosa disciplina, e não prostitutas exóticas ou prostitutas de luxo como é freqüente se supor no mundo Ocidental. Isto explica ao mesmo tempo, o preconceito e o romantismo que as cercam. As gueixas são o fenômeno mais próximo do feminismo que o Japão possui. Elas estão entre as poucas mulheres que conseguem independência financeira em uma cultura extremamente patriarcal. São extrovertidas e sensuais, ao invés de recatadas e reprimidas. Hoje, a maior parte de seus clientes são homens mais velhos, que sabem apreciar as artes tradicionais do Japão (que incluem canto e dança), além do jogo teatral que envolve esse universo, elas vendem aos seus clientes o sonho de uma mulher perfeita, e fazem com que eles se sintam atraentes e importantes. Mas esse universo, que ainda hoje é cercado de mistério, pode estar em extinção. Ironicamente, a influência do Ocidente é apontada como uma das causas do crescente desinteresse dos japoneses pelas suas antigas tradições  El nombre Gueixa tiene como significado, Persona que vive del Arte.

Pero si ese universo, que aún hoy es un misterio, puede estar en extinción. Ironicamente, la influencia de Occidente, señala sus antiguas tradiciones, como una de las causas del gran desinterés de los japoneses. The meaning of the name Geisha is "Person who lives of the Art". The Occident always had a great interest for this personage of the Japanese culture. However, despite attraction the Gueixas has always been badly misinterpreted, giving it a perverted concept.... The profession of Gueixa appeared in century XVIII. They are artists, submitted to rigorous disciplines, and they aren't exotic prostitutes or prostitutes of luxury as they are frequently assumed to. be in the world of the Occidental person. This explains at the same time the preconception and the romantisism that surround them. Gueixas is the phenomenon next to the feminism that Japanese possess. They are between the few women who obtain financial independence in an extremely patriarchial culture. They are extroverted and sensual, instead of hidden and restrained. Today, most of its customers are older men, whom they know appreciate the traditional arts of Japan (that they include singing and dances), beyond the teatral game that involves this universe, they sell to their customers the dream of a perfect woman, and with that they make themselves feel attractive and important. But this universe, that still today is surrounded with mystery, can be extinguishing. It's ironic, but the influence of the Occident is pointed out as one of the causes of the increasing disinterest in the Japanese for its old traditions.
