Abstract

“Kagai” is a precious entertainment district that succeeds traditional Japanese culture. In recent years, a new system of revitalizing Kagai and training Geisha has been seen in some Kagai. In addition, a wide range of support from the business community, government, and civic organizations can be found in many areas. Therefore, this study will clarify the organizational structure of kagai and the state of cooperation with related organizations, focusing on active kagai throughout Japan. The main results are as follows. 1) There are 63 active kagai in Japan. 2) About 60% of the active kagai have an internal kagai organization, and most have only a Geisha union. 3) Kagai external organizations are found in about 70% of the active kagai. Furthermore, about 20% of the active kagai have community development organizations.
