Geisha As An Art (Hover)
The origins of Geisha are very deep and in some cases, have deep religious roots. Much of their dances originate with plants and growing seasons surrounding their history.

The importance of dance in the Japanese culture and to Geisha most likely originates from ancient religious practices. The nineteenth century saw the development of many of the dances that are now the most common dances performed by Geisha at both private parties and public events such as festivals. Dances such as the Miyako Odori and the cherry dances, dances that originate in the Japanese cultural value of Cherry Blossoms, arise out of the nineteenth century. |
