Abstract
The life of a geisha is often glamorized or simplified by Westerners. Many in the West think of geishas as something of royalty due to their high status in Japanese culture, and fashionable dress. On the other hand, Westerners also think of geishas as Japanese versions of prostitutes, not knowing that there is more to the geisha life than simply pleasing men and that true geisha's appeal is her "unattainable perfection" (Layton 3). A geisha is a "person of the arts" who performs entertainment and is an expert in Japanese high culture.
