Description

These great geisha chopsticks are as decorated and ornate as the girls who wear them! Geisha are traditional female Japanese entertainers, whose skills include performing various Japanese arts, such as classical music and dance. Contrary to popular belief, geisha are not prostitutes. The word consists of two kanji, “gei” meaning “art” and “sha” meaning “person” or “doer”. Modern geisha still live in traditional geisha houses called okiya in areas called hanamachi.
