You read right.
Are there any anime series that feature geishas? Just curious. |

There are several episodes of Tactics that feature a secondary character who is a geisha.

Samurai Champloo: I read a section on SC in a magazine and there was a picture that had a caption that said Fuu and Geisha.
In Millennium Actress there's some parts that show spoiler[that show Chiyoko looking like a geisha and some other girls too.] |

What the hell happened to my explanation about Yumi from Rurouni Kenshin and her being a former Oiran? If memory serves me correct, my explanation that an Oiran is the highest rank a geisha can attain, and that means she is a desired Geisha.
I'll admit she doesn't look like a Geisha in the Anime or the manga, but she does have the hints of being a former one. |

Do make at least a minimal effort to distinguish between "geisha" and "whore"... they really are two entirely different concepts. - abunai |

In Samurai Seven, one of the Samurai lives in an old-style Geisha house.
In Kidou Shinsengumi Moeyo Ken TV, one of the episodes revolves around mysterious goings-on at a Geisha house. |

In the Samurai X OVA's one of Kenshin's superiors discusses plans with his Geisha Mistress. As I recall, the both characters were historical (been a few years, can't remember who) and they later married. I know that Geisha sometimes show up in those series due to RL connections between the Meiji leaders and geisha.
All the Best, Nani? |

If you want to learn about Geisha, I suggest looking at Ukiyo-e prints and history books/stuff. But as far as anime goes, I can't think of anything that hasn't already been mentioned.
