*Oiran :
Oiran
were high-class courtesans in Japan. The word "
oiran
" consists of two kanji, one meaning "flower", and another meaning "leader" or "first." Cultural aspects of oiran traditions continue to be preserved to this day.
The
oiran
arose in the Edo period, 1600 - 1868. At this time, laws were passed restricting brothels to walled districts set some distance from the city center. In the major cities these were the Shimabara in Kyoto, the Shinmachi in Osaka, and in Edo (present-day Tokyo), the Yoshiwara. These rapidly grew into large, self-contained "Pleasure Quarters" offering all manner of entertainments. Within, a courtesan's birth rank held no distinction but there arose a strict hierarchy according to beauty, character, educational attainments and artistic skills. Among the oiran, the
tayu
was considered the highest rank of courtesan or prostitute, and were considered suitable for the
daimyo
. Only the wealthiest and highest ranking could hope to patronise them.
To entertain their clients, oiran practiced the arts of dance, music, poetry and calligraphy, and an educated wit was considered essential to sophisticated conversation.
