Many people around the world know about maikos and geishas. But have you ever heard of yujyo and oiran?
If you are reading One Piece “Wano kuni” story, you may be nodding now.Komurasaki, or Hiyori Kogetsu appeared as an oiran, the top of the yujyo in Wano kuni.
But what are yujyo and oiran? They are beautiful women wearing fancy kimonos too, but how are they different from maikos and geishas?
So today, I will talk about the history of yujyo and yukaku, and explain who the oiran were. At the end of the video, I will also introduce the famous “oiran dochu”, the oiran walk.

This explains a lot and the entertainment district arc of demon slayer Overall makes more sense as well. There's the walk and the the kamuro as well as some children with the oirans in the anime don't get explained but they do explain what a oiran is in a line .... that is in a way they tell they are ideal people. The main trio tanjiro inosuke and zenitsu being picked up to be oirans and the matrens I guess those ladies were proclaiming that they would be future insurance etc. Thanks a lot shogo

They don't explain those in the anime because it is common knowledge that almost all Japanese know through history classes at school. The anime is created for the Japanese audience after all. It is the same as Western movies. For example, there is no explanation about cowboys, sheriff, US government system, etc. so Asians that watch those movies have to do some research about them.

The tradition has NOT ended. Still happening today. Check Wikipedia and other sources online for details. Sorry to shatter the dream. He also doesn't share it in a way that really condemns it either. Just objectively talks about it, even going so far as to say the Oirain were also considered "ideal woman". Many men are not against going to those places (39% have admited to paying for it) and treat woman only as valuable to them as they are useful. My friend is a Japanese housewife and she says they are generally looked down on (and it doesn't take long to realize how very little gender equality there is here in Japan). When I asked her if she's scared her husband will go to those places she simply said "as long as I don't find out". My other friend says her bf goes to those places because "men have needs". I was shocked but she just looks the other way it seems and many woman here do. I've heard many other stories. Those areas are still big here today. And many are not legal.

It's so fascinating that everyday customs in periods of Japanese history have become so ritualized and steeped in ceremonial traditions. I remember reading that the geisha first became popular when people had become tired of the oiran and found them too formal and old-fashioned, I was amazed just because nowadays the geisha is also such an old tradition.

Yes Dororo (I'll refer to the 2019 though the original is worth a watch) they did not romanticize anything about the era. You felt the "walking on eggshells" feeling if you weren't in a town already decimated. There was so much cruelty, much of it needed just to survive. And poor Mio. She was so strong and did not deserve getting caught in the middle like that. I wish she hadn't jumped sides to get money faster-i wish she didn't have to go through that at all...

What would happen if an Oiran became pregnant? I imagine Oiran would have limited clientele, so knowing who the father was would be much easier, so were the children still as doomed if they lived? If Oiran were so well revered, would the men want to keep the sons? And would daughters have a higher chance of becoming an Oiran vs other girls?
@biazacha
@biazacha 2 жыл бұрын
I know some very famous Oirans in history ended up marrying former clients so I assume at least the sons would have a better future than slavery since I can’t imagine they harming the body of one after investing so many time and resources for each Oiran.

if they are pregnant it depends on the house owner... Either the oiran could be kicked out, or the baby will sent to other family to take care of them... or the baby will be kept around, and when they grow up they can work as servant or another pr0stitute. Or the very sad result... they will be get an ab*rti*n either willingly or by force . . but mostly oiran and other pr0stitutes will drink a certain herbal potion (morning pills back in the day) to prevent the pregnancy after having an s3xual intercourse
@elenalizabeth
@elenalizabeth 2 жыл бұрын
It would mostly have depended on the men that had been with her - some of them may have liked the woman and been willing to marry “their Oiran” and keep the child, other men would have said to “get rid of it” in which case they would drink a tea/elixir of something like Rue or Neem (these can trigger menstruation/abortion). They may have also kept the pregnancy hidden for as long as possible and then “been too ill to see others” for a few months once she got too big to hide it/birth the baby, then the baby could be raised by her family or other prostitutes in her “house”. They may have also regularly taken something like Hibiscus-Rosa or Tulsi that work by preventing menstruation/implantation. There was also other methods like using water to “rinse out” after the man had left.

I have read that there are multiple ranks within the Oiran rank, like Tayu and Sancha, but that a lot of people use the terms Oiran and Tayu interchangeably without realizing it doesn't mean quite the same thing. I'd also be really curious to know what happens when Oiran get old, or sick! Thanks for the video!

A culture that's still alive here today, although just renamed. If you look at how big the redlight districts here are and look even a little bit closer. You'll find this exact same thing still happening today. If you don't believe me, visit Japan, or check online, Wikipedia etc. And you can also watch a video on KZfaq about the "#1 hostess in Japan". She has pretty much the exact same role. She can show away men she doesn't like, she's extremely expensive, and since she's "acquainted" with her clients, sleeping with them is not illegal and actively encouraged by her company... It's a nice loophole because they are obviously not just paying for her chit-chat but it looks like that on paper. See the vid for details. She however did seem to choose the job, but there are still many woman here that for various reasons, didn't choose it. "Lower ranking" than her. Some interesting extra info ^^

I find this very interesting as I had been watching the new season of Demon Slayer which takes place in one of these ‘red light districts’ and knowing this information makes a lot of things clearer

I really enjoy your shows. Could you have a show about Noh theatre. Also the theatre with the puppets where men are dressed in black controlling the puppets. I forgot the name. Also the tea ceremony. Thank you for your informative shows. Grandmom from Philly, USA

I really enjoyed this, especially the end part on yotaka and kagema, super infomative. I hope this doesnt come off as condescending, but Oiran wouldn't have learned shamisen. She would have learned kokyu, koto, and hand drum, much in the style of the Tayu. Other than that, this is very spot on. Keep up the great work
