A performing artist and entertainer trained in traditional styles called “geisha” performs a dance on the stage during a rehearsal at Shinbashi Enbujo Theater on May 20, 2022 in Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo's geisha association in the Shinbashi area opened their stage, called “Azuma Odori”, to the public for the first time in three years due to the coronavirus pandemic. While geisha from the association entertain customers exclusively at traditional Japanese high-end dining restaurants, they also perform on stage once a year for the public, a practice that had been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic until this year.
