Geisha

Geisha, originally uploaded by Michael-C.

"Geisha are traditional, female Japanese entertainers, whose skills include performing various Japanese arts, such as music, singing, and dancing. They also engage their clients with light conversation.

This is a full fledged Geisha as she is wearing flat-soled sandals called "zori" instead of special wooden clogs known as "okobo" that is worn by an apprentice Geisha.
