But geisha is not really prostitution, right ? If we want to compare, they're more like escort lady or belly dancer of Ancient Arab. They concentrate on singing and dancing much more and prostitution is not always required.
Not to mention "tayuu" and "yuukaku" are high ranks in geisha, those that reach these ranks are very famous in society. And they also don't live in slum ^^
