Is Geisha an artist? Yes, I believe so.
A Geisha must know to dance (which is art), to sing (which is art), play instruments (which is art), know the tea ceremony (which is also art). All of these skills are a part of Geishas primary art - the art to entertain and comfort men.

Let me put it this way: If Marilyn Manson made an only song in his carrier and that song would be his own version of 'Sweet Dreams (Are made of this)' which was originally made by the Eurythmics. You would still call him an artist, even if it's the same song.

The same thing goes with Geisha. Even if there are no new ideas, and just old ones, they are still artists, because every Geisha sings the same song differently, dances the same old dance differently, talks about the same topic differently.

If you haven't realized, you just agreed with the fact that geisha is art, because a statue (no matter what kind it is) is a form of art.
