  • What does it mean to be a geisha? How does someone become one? And how do they differ from sex workers?


    The geisha world is famously very secretive and private, and taking us into it today is Lesley Downer, who spent years befriending geishas in research for her book Geisha: The Secret History of a Vanishing World.


    This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer is Charlotte Long.
