Geishas are artists that people have constantly mistaken with as prostitutes. They perform the classical dance, sing and entertain guests. Truth to be told, they are considered to be extremely respected and hold high authority to the social system in Japan. Colours in their kimonos play an important part to their purpose. As you can see, from the picture above, the farthest right is the eldest out of all of them. The youngsters are more flamboyant and daring with their use of colors.
They are ART, itself. Certain patterns, textures, and combination of colors are picked for vital reasons and with meaning. The different combination of colors and the degree of brightness identifies the ranks of the Geishas. From lowest rank (the starters) wear the brightest of colors and gradually simmers down as they rank higher up.
