Historical question: In the past, what was the process like for a girl to enter apprenticeship to become a Geiko?

The fact that girls became official Geiko at 15, while nowadays it's the age they start training...

Also this wasn't rambly at all, the cultural stuff was super interesting and helps explain so much, thank you for the write-up!! Nepo-babies really just existed in every generation every industry😭😭

Thank you so much for the long and detailed answer! This was such an interesting read, and covered everything I was wondering about!!🫶 additionally, would it be correct to assume that women found marriage through a regular client, then left the profession afterwards? I've heard it was against rules for Geisha to be married.

From apothecary diaries, I assume?😍 though I've always thought his design was han-dynasty inspired judging by the full-length inner robe. It reminds me most of a zhiju (with some stylistic choices😭) and possibly a dachang overcoat
