Performer at ozashiki parties (6)

I believe the answer is:

geisha

(Other definitions for geisha that I've seen before include "Professional female companion for Japanese men" , "Japanese serving girl" , "Entertaining girl" , "Jap. entertainer" , "Japanese woman, trained to entertain men" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
