Geisha
The “talented person” who provides entertainment and a companion for men in public places. A woman in a mostly dark kimono, often with a samisen (square banjo-like instrument) or hand-drum. Her pose is often exaggeratedly elegant, leaning backwards.
Maiko
A geisha in training, usually depicted in street wear. A girl with an elaborate, long-sleeved, brightly colored kimono (furisode), flowers in her hair, and usually wears geta (shoes) and carries a parasol. She may have bells attached to her sleeves.
Oiran
A top-rated courtesan of the bordello districts which were abolished in the 1950s, usually depicted based on 18th- or 19th-century woodblocks. A woman usually dressed to go out, with an extremely elaborate hairstyle with many radiating hairpins and combs, and a rich brocade coat over a red under-kimono. She wears very high geta (shoes), which in real life would make her a foot or so taller. She does not carry a parasol–because she would have a servant to carry it for her!
