An okiya is a place where geisha and maiko (apprentice geisha) live and train to become geisha. Geisha must be registered with an okiya, but they don't always live there full-time.
An okiya is usually run by a woman called the Okaasan, which means "mother". The Okaasan is responsible for the geisha's training, engagements, and well-being, which includes feeding, clothing, and keeping track of their engagements.
The okiya pays for everything a maiko needs, including food, transportation, accommodation, kimono, and classes. Maiko receive a small stipend each month to spend on shopping.
The first step to becoming a geisha is to be legally accepted into an okiya.
