I know that Japanese geisha are prostitutes but not their bodies, but are there any who do not follow the rules and secretly prostitute themselves? Is this common? I hope someone who has lived in Japan can answer.

Very few. Because in Japan, geisha are not prostitutes. Their deal is to fulfill men's dreams - pleasure, romance and possessiveness. Usually those who trade with them are rich and powerful men from the upper class. In expensive restaurants and teahouses, men discussing business like to ask a geisha to accompany them, serve them wine, and adjust the atmosphere, and this costs at least 1,000 US dollars. Today, there are still a handful of women who join the geisha trade with romantic fantasies and a love for the traditional art.

In many places, if you violate a geisha, you will still be severely punished. It cannot be ruled out that a very small number of geisha will sell themselves secretly, but this is generally unknown, because once they are discovered, they will no longer be able to stay in this industry and will have to change careers.
