Yahoo's movie page comments that this is a "Love story of a tormented young geisha and a kind man who was her anonymous patron".
Nitta Sayuri (Zhang Ziyi) reveals how she transcended her fishing-village roots and became one of Japan's most celebrated geisha in this movie. -
A gossip mag reveals that the real geishas in Japan were sooo impressed with Zhang Ziyi's portrayal of a geisha in the movie that they presented her with a kimono.

Here's some info from Wikipedia :
Geisha ("person of the arts") are traditional Japanese artist-entertainers. Geishas are also NOT prostitutes.
