Geishas Entertain Online Amid Japan's Coronavirus Outbreak

HAKONE, JAPAN - MAY 29: Sachika (her professional geisha name), originally from Yokohama and a geisha for 20 years, performs a dance as she entertains clients online via Zoom on May 29, 2020 in Hakone, Japan. A service known as Meet Geisha based in Hakone, the largest geisha hub outside of Kyoto, has begun offering online drinking parties with geishas as the ongoing Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic keeps foreign and domestic clients away from face-to-face visits. As well as Japanese, the service is also provided in English by a number of bilingual geishas who cater to clients from around the world. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
