A cultural centre in Osaka has opened a geisha cafe, where visitors can meet a geisha-in-training and learn what it takes to become a Japanese “art performer”.
Like a rare wildlife sighting, real-life geisha can be elusive creatures to capture on camera. Graceful and discreet, the ladies are not known to stop and pose for a photo, but are more apt to scurry off to their appointment, head bowed.
