The word consists of two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji" title="Kanji" target="_blank">kanji</a>, <span class="t_nihongo_kanji"><span>芸</span></span> (<em>gei</em>) meaning “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art" title="Art" target="_blank">art</a>” and <span class="t_nihongo_kanji"><span>者</span></span> (<em>sha</em>) meaning “person” or “doer”. The most literal translation of geisha into English would be “artist,” “performing artist,” or “artisan.” Another name for geisha in is <em>geiko</em> (<span class="t_nihongo_kanji"><span>芸子</span></span>), which is usually used to refer to geisha from western Japan, which includes Kyoto.</p> <p>Apprentice geisha are called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiko" title="Maiko" target="_blank">maiko</a> (<span class="t_nihongo_kanji"><span>舞子</span></span> or <span class="t_nihongo_kanji"><span>舞妓</span></span>), literally “dance child”) or hangyoku (半玉), “half-jewel” (meaning that they are paid half of the wage of a full geisha),<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisha#cite_note-1" target="_blank"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup> or by the more generic term o-shaku (<span class="t_nihongo_kanji"><span>御酌</span></span>), literally “one who pours (alcohol)”. The white make-up and elaborate kimono and hair of a maiko is the popular image held of geisha. A woman entering the geisha community does not have to begin as a maiko, having the opportunity to begin her career as a full geisha. Either way, however, usually a year’s training is involved before debuting either as a maiko or as a geisha. A woman above 21 is considered too old to be a maiko and becomes a full geisha upon her initiation into the geisha community. However, those who do go through the maiko stage can enjoy more prestige later in their professional lives.</p> <p>I’ve been always intrigued about the Japanese culture as it is so different and distant from my own.</p> </div>http://sanmiguelg.tumblr.com/post/14313990973http://sanmiguelg.tumblr.com/post/14313990973Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:35:16 -0500GeishawomanGirlRed LipsJapanPhotoshop<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw8xr8ajGb1r4jn8no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>An image that I painted this morning with PS, as a way to show my gratitude to all the people who have ever seen my tumblr.</p> <p>Merry Christmas!</p>http://sanmiguelg.tumblr.com/post/14260135983http://sanmiguelg.tumblr.com/post/14260135983Thu, 15 Dec 2011 08:06:00 -0500christmasnavidadSanMiguelphotoshopgirl with christmas costumeDecember<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw6c0pYE3J1r4jn8no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Childhood-dreams never fade!</p>http://sanmiguelg.tumblr.com/post/14199109413http://sanmiguelg.tumblr.com/post/14199109413Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:22:00 -0500treelandscapesanPhotoshoparbol<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw0izbtgwr1r4jn8no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Girl in odd lands, She is a figment from a blurred dream of mine.</p>http://sanmiguelg.tumblr.com/post/14038251419http://sanmiguelg.tumblr.com/post/14038251419Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:06:46 -0500dreamslandsgirldoddestrangered hair<a href="http://snack.to/oELfAg">The Hobbit Illustrated</a>: <p>This is an abridgement of The Hobbit that I wrote in Spanish, I’ll upload it in English soon.
