How long does it take to become a geisha?
Training to become a geisha typically takes several years of dedicated study. Apprentices, called maikos, usually train for five to six years before becoming fully-fledged geisha. They learn traditional dance, music, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and conversation skills.
