Japanese hostess in Newbridge is hardworking (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

geisha

'japanese hostess' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in newbridge is hardworking' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'GEISHA' is hidden in the letters of 'newbridge is hardworking'.

(Other definitions for geisha that I've seen before include "Entertainer in a kimono?" , "Trained Japanese hostess - his age (anag)" , "girl from the orient" , "Japanese girl trained to entertain men" , "A Japanese woman who entertains men" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
