KOROBI by L.A.S.'s Crime

"....shiro (white) geisha were purely entertainers, as opposed to korobi geisha, who 'tumbled' for guests: kido (gate) geisha stood at the entrances to carnivals, playing their shamisens to attract business, whereas joro (whore) geisha were probably not hired for their musical skills...."
