Shirabyōshi : ウィキペディア英語版
Shirabyōshi

were female dancers, prominent in the Japanese Imperial Court, who performed traditional Japanese dances (the dances themselves were also called ''shirabyōshi''). They danced dressed as men. The profession of ''shirabyōshi'' developed in the 12th century. They would perform for the nobility, and at celebrations.
They are sometimes referred to as courtesans in the English language, but that term refers to a high-class prostitute, so this is rather incorrect. By nature they were performers. Some ''shirabyōshi'' did sleep with their patrons and give birth to nobles' children, but this was not their intended purpose as entertainers.
==History==
''Shirabyōshi'' came about in the late Heian period. It was a time of cultural change, so in order for some women to survive they turned to performing. After their inception, Japan experienced a ''shirabyōshi'' boom in which many women became ''shirabyōshi'' because of their popularity. A ''shirabyōshi'' was always a woman who dressed in men's attire, performing dances for the gods. The name ''shirabyōshi'' meant "white rhythm", partly because of their make-up, and because their songs were slow and rhythmic. They were required to be educated, including being able to both read and write—they were talented poets, musicians, singers, and dancers.
It has been said that the ''shirabyōshi'' culture greatly influenced Noh drama by bringing forth ''kusemai'', an unorthodox form of dancing, and introducing it to Noh.
