noun
loose geisha; promiscuous geisha
Historical term for a geisha known for being sexually available or lacking discretion; now rare and mostly found in period literature or discussions of old entertainment districts.
江戸時代の文献には、不見転芸者という言葉が時折見られる。
The term 不見転芸者 occasionally appears in Edo-period documents.
Compound of 不見転 (みずてん, 'indiscriminate' or 'loose') and 芸者 (geisha). The exact origin of 不見転 is uncertain, but it likely derives from the idea of not seeing (見ず) and turning (転) away from propriety.
