Young girls are taken into the house at various ages, and perform various chores whilst observing the geisha and maiko (geisha-in-training). ... When they reach 17 they can become maiko, and begin training in earnest to be geisha. The maiko take lessons in the shamisen, dancing and the other arts of the geisha.
