Besides all wildlife experiences during our winter trip to Japan at the very end in Tokyo we experienced a very special cultural evening with Geisha performance. Geisha are a class of female Japanese performing artists and entertainers trained in traditional Japanese performing arts styles, such as dance, music and singing, as well as being proficient conversationalists and hosts. Their distinct appearance is characterised by long, trailing kimono, traditional hairstyles and oshiroi make-up.
