Until just 70 years ago, throughout in Japanese history, the idea that men's ideal love life should be with someone other than his wife continued to be publicly accepted in Japanese society. Historically saying, the geisha were part of those male comforters although they are praised for their roles as cultural guardians nowadays. I'll explain whole history of geisha, from Shirabyoushi in the Heian period( 10th to 12th century), The oiran in the Edo period( 17th to 19th century) to the current days.
