For those who don't know, oirans were very high ranking prostitutes in the edo period (1600-1868) all the way up until 1957 when prostitution was banned. Whenever a customer paid for their services there would be this long procession. It should be noted that oirans weren't your common prostitute, these were exceptionally beautiful women who, in addition to being a prostitute, were also well versed in traditional arts like singing, classical dance, and skilled at instruments such as the koto.
@@Thejoeb yeah, I was thinking- if they were low class then they wouldn't make a big flashy procession to show who bought them. If they were looked down upon, then the buyers would've probably wanted them to be as discreet as possible
@@5martgir14ever I watched the same video! At first I thought this Oiran was wearing tabi, and because of that video I knew she shouldn’t be. Then I realized her feet were painted white! Here’s to learning stuff on TH-cam!
Absolutely fabulous !! I love this ultra beautiful Oirans super high ultra beautiful Geta platform shoes 🖤🖤🖤🖤and very beautiful traditional outfit ! The way she walks is so very graceful and feminine ! Everyone walking in procession is very coordinated walking together too . ! I love this ❤️❤️😊😊very beautiful !!
I think oiran is a status among them, like a level and oiran is the highest level, I forgot the term for their job/referring to them collectively. But I think the lady is not portraying an oiran she actually is an oiran Edit: they're called courtesans collectively but I'm not totally sure
She actually has the Oiran rank. She had to work hard to get to that position. They don’t commit prostitution anymore though. Other than that they still learn all the other stuff.
As an foreigner I didn’t think they did this anymore. This has a much different effect compared to seeing it in an anime. The skill and grace to walk on platforms like that. 👍👏
The purpose of this is Oiran meeting her customer who bought her for the night, and people would come out to see who had the money to purchase an Oiran... It was all for the purpose of showing off the wealth of the customer. So it is a sad for me.
@@_.-Lily-._ selling her body yes. But for oiran they are higher status , have more benefits , earn more , and have the right to reject customer. Top of the ranks. Trained since young . But this is a thing of the past . No oiran and prostitution allowed now
She's the most beautiful Oiran l have ever seen among others. Graceful, elegant, and confident in every action process slowly step by step to the destination. Thank you for uploading.
Absolutely beautiful. I love how they preserve history. I also remember a similar thing from the anime demon Slayer. The animation is top notch being able to describe everything so amazingly
The parade, which takes place in spring, historically re-enacts the walk made by top courtesans around their district in honour of their guests. The modern parade features three in full traditional attire with approximately 70 accompanying servants.
Utterly fascinating culture. From an era when culture wasn't interrupted by technology and modern pace of life and distractions of the world. I have a deep respect for people who keep culture and traditions alive.
''SHE WALKS SO SLOW. SHE'D GET KILLED IN A SECOND IN THE MOUNTAINS " - Lord Inosuke Hashibira, King of the mountain Edit: if my you don't like my comment,,,,... You better to mind your own business.. And My comment isn't harassing someone...
I love that every role has a specific walk. Really cool details. And knowing the oirans costume is super heavy makes me respect her balance so much more.
Oiran (花魁) was a specific category of high ranking courtesan in Japanese history. Divided into a number of ranks within this category, oiran were considered - both in social terms and in the entertainment they provided - to be above common prostitutes, known as yūjo (遊女, lit. 'woman of pleasure'
Yes but in real life they we're relly sad. They we're sold as child and then hace ti sold their bodies and learn all manners yo survive and scalated in that world
@@IGUniverse : @ "insert name here" wrongly thinks it is impossible to know other peoples culture from afar. He does not understand that some of us are students of history and culture .... that we can learn things without actually being there.
Don't mean any disrespect but this represents a luxury prostitute going to its customer, and the whole procession is to show to the people who had enough money to purchase her for the night. People gathered to see her and who will she meet. Even thou Oiran were type of celebrities in that time, these are still women who in majority of cases, were sold and children and had to become prostitutes.

I will only dart my eyes towards amazement and appreciation. Arigatou gozaimasu.
here’s some history behind the orian if you’d like to read it! The movie you had watched was about geishas remember how her sister was sold off to ““ the pleasure”” district instead of the performance district? “”The pleasure” district had bought young girls to turn them into what we would call prostitution now a days, but it used to be very respected and seen more high class than a geisha even. As sad as it is it is a part of Japan’s culture.
Oirans are highest ranking prostitutes. Only top rich people could afford them. And they were allowed to resist customers whenever they wanted. They made a lot of millions, one night with such women could cost a million for top girl. Geishas are not prostitutes. They weren't allowed to have sex with customers. They would entertain the customers in pairs during customer meeting with oiran. They were entertainers and lower standing compared to oirans. Yujo's were cheaper prostitutes. Low rank working girls. They had it worse.
when i was a kid and i'd see performers like these, i thought they also lived in old ways like wearing those clothes at home and heating home with charcoal and fireplace with no electricity lol
Nice and Rich culture of Japanese... thanks for sharing I always wonder how they had looked like. I heard these women were really educated ones... Besides western countries disruptions Japanese had a really really rich cultural heritage.
Yujo: Women who provide sexual services at Yukaku. Most of them are educated and many can play traditional Japanese dances and musical instruments. Geisha: Female entertainer. Some provide sexual services, but this is at their own will. Kamuro: A child of Yujo apprentice. Most of them are children sold to their parents, and the others are children of Yujo. They wait on high-ranking Yujo hand and foot and learn work as Yujo. In addition, children who are smart or have a talent for music get talent education so that they can become higher-ranking Yujo. Oiran: A woman with a particularly high rank among Yujo. Not only are they exceptionally beautiful, but they also highly educated and were well versed in traditional arts like singing, classical dance and playing musical instruments. They were out of reach of ordinary people, and even the rich person was not easy to meet. In order to meet Oiran, it is necessary to have someone introduce him, and in the process, the customer was judged whether he is wealthy and has no problem with his personality. Even if a customer is allowed to meet Oiran, he cannot talk to her in the first two visits. He had to call Geisha and live it up extravagantly. In addition, if he was disliked by Oiran at the visit, he will not be allowed to meet again. Oiran was able to choose a customer. Also, if the customer visit another Yujo after three visits, he will be considered cheating and he will pay a lot of money or be banished. There were Some Oiran who never provided sexual services until Miuke (Other person pay Yujo's debt to let Yujo quit Yujo. Usually doing this to make Yujo one's own wife) was done. This is because Oiran didn't sell herself short. Oiran procession: Oiran walks around the Yukaku on some special day such as the day when they pick up valuable customers. This parade also has the purpose of preserving the dignity of Oiran By dressing luxuriously and being accompanied by a lot of people. Oiran usually doesn't go out to increase her value, so only this time can ordinary people see Oiran. This is like a parade of celebrity in modern days. Very important thing: In the sense of those times, Yujo was not a profession to be looked down upon. They were only sold to their parents when they were very young, and they did not become prostitutes on their own initiative. They were recognize as really devoted daughters by people. And especially Oiran is not only good-looking, but also highly educated and well versed in traditional arts, so Oiran was respected as ideal female.
@@hanabi1856 @hanamukeiro more on geishas, it was against the rules in the brothels they worked in to service the customers sexually and would bring hard punishment since they were invading the yujo's work, but in smaller bbrothels the rules wernt as strict. In early 18th century the government believed woman being geishas would disturb the morals so it was really hard for geishas to get work by their art and many had to turn to prostitution.
To think a walk can be made to look so beautiful!! I mean it's just a walk, but my goodness *What a walk* !! 😵 Top models around the world got nuth'n on those girls. Beautiful too!!
The costume of an oiran for this kind procession (basically just to show herself to the city, thanks all, display her skills and attracts more customers) was really heavy. Some says it was around 30kg but I'm not sure about that (it would mean heavier than an average samurai armor !). The specific walk plus the weight of the costumes must have made this kind of procession exhausting.
That pattern was to write japanese "8." For kinda blessing and sort of lucky for people who join the event and the shop(s) which invite the parade to go and bless them with the glare of luckiness (and surely the shop will pay for that.)
she doesn't have a palace... this is a reenactment. she's portraying an oiran, who was a high class courtesan or sex worker. this is a dochu, or walk/parade, where she would travel from her brothel to the teahouse where she'd be meeting her client. now, however, they start at a certain designated spot and then walk to a stage where she recreates the meeting with the client.
This particular procession is not in the movie, but Memoirs of a Geisha has the protagonist dancing in geta like the oiran's. Look up "Saiyuri's dance" or memoirs of a geisb and you should be able to find it.
4 inch??? Those things are supposed to be 18 inches!!! And the walk shes doing, usually takes 3 years to learn, just she can move. A whole different walk, just for shoes!
This beautiful woman has my respect to be able to walk in such high shoes and look elegant while doing so while I'm here not even being able to walk in shoes that have a small heel without faceplating the floor
the moment I saw this video, I knew half of the comments would be Demon Slayer themed, and since I'm watching this for school purposes, it makes my day that much better :)
To show off! Lol. If the gentleman was rich enough and socially high enough that the Oiran accepts him, (they can be very picky) there is a parade to show off the beauty and quality of the Lady on the way to her "date". Of course, these days its only a historical re-creation of a high quality "call girl" and nothing is shared with a gentleman except tea in a public exhibition.

For those who want to know more
Please check my reply.
I explained about Yujo, geisha, Oiran, etc.
Yujo: Women who provide sexual services at Yukaku. Most of them are educated and many can play traditional Japanese dances and musical instruments.
Geisha: Female entertainer. Some provide sexual services, but this is at their own will.
Kamuro: A child of Yujo apprentice. Most of them are children sold to their parents, and the others are children of Yujo. They wait on high-ranking Yujo hand and foot and learn work as Yujo. In addition, children who are smart or have a talent for music get talent education so that they can become higher-ranking Yujo.
Oiran: A woman with a particularly high rank among Yujo. Not only are they exceptionally beautiful, but they also highly educated and were well versed in traditional arts like singing, classical dance and playing musical instruments. They were out of reach of ordinary people, and even the rich person was not easy to meet. In order to meet Oiran, it is necessary to have someone introduce him, and in the process, the customer was judged whether he is wealthy and has no problem with his personality. Even if a customer is allowed to meet Oiran, he cannot talk to her in the first two visits. He had to call Geisha and live it up extravagantly. In addition, if he was disliked by Oiran at the visit, he will not be allowed to meet again. Oiran was able to choose a customer. Also, if the customer visit another Yujo after three visits, he will be considered cheating and he will pay a lot of money or be banished. There were Some Oiran who never provided sexual services until Miuke (Other person pay Yujo's debt to let Yujo quit Yujo. Usually doing this to make Yujo one's own wife) was done. This is because Oiran didn't sell herself short.
Oiran procession: Oiran walks around the Yukaku on some special day such as the day when they pick up valuable customers. This parade also has the purpose of preserving the dignity of Oiran By dressing luxuriously and being accompanied by a lot of people. Oiran usually doesn't go out to increase her value, so only this time can ordinary people see Oiran. This is like a parade of celebrity in modern days.
Very important thing:
In the sense of those times, Yujo was not a profession to be looked down upon. They were only sold to their parents when they were very young, and they did not become prostitutes on their own initiative. They were recognize as really devoted daughters by people. And especially Oiran is not only good-looking, but also highly educated and well versed in traditional arts, so Oiran was respected as ideal female.
@@hanabi1856 @hanamukeiro more on geishas, it was against the rules in the brothels they worked in to service the customers sexually and would bring hard punishment since they were invading the yujo's work, but in smaller bbrothels the rules wernt as strict. In early 18th century the government believed woman being geishas would disturb the morals so it was really hard for geishas to get work by their art and many had to turn to prostitution.
I was really confused on the way she took steps, that was amazing
To think a walk can be made to look so beautiful!!
I mean it's just a walk, but my goodness *What a walk* !! 😵
Top models around the world got nuth'n on those girls. Beautiful too!!
I 100% agree with you.... it's art
The costume of an oiran for this kind procession (basically just to show herself to the city, thanks all, display her skills and attracts more customers) was really heavy. Some says it was around 30kg but I'm not sure about that (it would mean heavier than an average samurai armor !). The specific walk plus the weight of the costumes must have made this kind of procession exhausting.
It takes about 3 years for an Oiran to master that walk, 18inch heels...XD meanwhile I trip over my own feet in tennis shoes!
That pattern was to write japanese "8." For kinda blessing and sort of lucky for people who join the event and the shop(s) which invite the parade to go and bless them with the glare of luckiness (and surely the shop will pay for that.)
This is the most beautiful walk I ve ever seen
I love how Komurasaki uses kuruwa kotoba (like with the (arinsu) at the end of her sentences. Once again learning stuff from One Piece
the sound of this is so mesmerizing i just want it in the background, its so stupid and silly and calming
Japanese culture and religion is deeply rooted in rituals and traditions. It is very interesting!
I always wanted to wear all those layers in kimono, and there are places that let you dress up as oiran, so someday I can! 💜
"Let's Ask Shogo" brought me here :D
Lol because I've been watching him lately this bought itself to me😂
@@WeRWinx same!
I love how my electronics know me so well it's like "here watch this I know you love it" and I'm like yea you're right🤭
@@WeRWinxHaha yes! It's almost creepy sometimes
Omg! Yes it is lol. By next year I'll be completely paranoid
Oiran terkeren sepanjang masa, anggun, tertata, elegant. Setiap gerakan terasa lembut dan mahal, kompak juga. Keren banget👍
Now I want to visit Japan, the experiences there are worth having!
This is beautiful. Where do they start the procession, when they enter the city or....when they leave her palace?
she doesn't have a palace... this is a reenactment. she's portraying an oiran, who was a high class courtesan or sex worker. this is a dochu, or walk/parade, where she would travel from her brothel to the teahouse where she'd be meeting her client. now, however, they start at a certain designated spot and then walk to a stage where she recreates the meeting with the client.
Thank you for sharing. Absolutely fascinating and wonderful view. My first time being exposed to historically fascinating Japan.
Damn I can’t even walk in 4 inch platforms 😂 but seriously they should for sure put this in the next movie about Japan
There was a movie, here’s the trailer th-cam.com/video/S6Oxo8ooHb4/w-d-xo.html
This particular procession is not in the movie, but Memoirs of a Geisha has the protagonist dancing in geta like the oiran's. Look up "Saiyuri's dance" or memoirs of a geisb and you should be able to find it.
4 inch??? Those things are supposed to be 18 inches!!! And the walk shes doing, usually takes 3 years to learn, just she can move. A whole different walk, just for shoes!
Awesome, considering in those times of the samurai
This beautiful woman has my respect to be able to walk in such high shoes and look elegant while doing so while I'm here not even being able to walk in shoes that have a small heel without faceplating the floor
Comments in 2014 : what an amazing culture
Comments in 2023 : DEMON SLAYER !!
the moment I saw this video, I knew half of the comments would be Demon Slayer themed, and since I'm watching this for school purposes, it makes my day that much better :)
so cute how intrigued that little boy looked
This is a ritualistic, highly-stylized, slow-motion dance-procession.
And you can only find it in Japan.
Whatever the purpose of these parades, it's damn beautiful
To show off! Lol. If the gentleman was rich enough and socially high enough that the Oiran accepts him, (they can be very picky) there is a parade to show off the beauty and quality of the Lady on the way to her "date". Of course, these days its only a historical re-creation of a high quality "call girl" and nothing is shared with a gentleman except tea in a public exhibition.
In the past Oirans were high ranking courtesans. So the procession was to attract clients.
@@isobelduncan oh wow
@@kath5201 wow thank you for explaining
@@kath5201 Pretty sure the Oiran couldn't refuse customers. It was the Tayū that could do it.
Demon Slayer memes aside, the Oiran is so beautiful.
This will always remain one of the absolute smoothest, coolest things I'll ever see in my life
Trust the Demon Slayer fans to throw in Inosuke’s commentaries 😂
TH-cam recommended this to me while I was watching Demon slayer (red light district arc)
Bellisimo!! Que delicadeza y elegancia!!! Me encantaaaaa!!!!! Viva ese arte japonés !!!!!
Super cool video. I’ve never seen an actual procession in real life. Thanks so much for sharing.
Its all fun and games until she starts screaming "ONIIIIIIII-CHANNNNNNNNNNNN"
Wow ! The head oiran is gorgeous!
She'd better be...considering "an affair" with her would cost over a yearly average salary...a night! =D
I respect the guy holding the huge umbrella, not only is it heavy but the way he has to hold it is pretty uncomfortable.
What are they yelling? I'm super curious to know.
It basically anoucing that she is here and to move aside
someyhing along the lines of "please stand clear of the oiran's way"
お練り O-neri "o" is a prefix used to show politeness/respect and "neri" is a procession, so "o-neri" is an interjection to announce Oiran's procession.
@@Chridora oh nice.
And here I was, thinking that Oneri was the name of the client she's going to to fetch. Hahah
Warcry
She look so Elegant walking through the town like that
What a pretty town, i hope nothing bad happens to it.
This sounds like a threat
Like how some demon slayers are infiltrating the entertainment district to rescue tengen 's wives, remember what happened at the end of the season to the town ?
@@divdsk5887 Tanjiro, Uzui, Suma, Makio, Hinatsuru, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Nezuko at the end of season 2: **surrounded by a burning town** We did it! We saved the city!
I can feel the pain in my ankle if I fall from those heels
Lmao it'll go *snap*
Is this how they used to walk in the old days?
Its very artistic and enchanting.
The shoes are called koma-geta or mistu-ashi. The purpose was it made them walk slower which looked more elegant and graceful but it also allowed them to stand out in a crowd during a procession.
とっても綺麗😍✨✨
Beautiful procession...reminds me of the Fox's Wedding.
Que lindo!!!
Ésto se hace en un día en especial?
Que interesante.❤
Whatever means of the walk,it’s still CULTURE and any CULTURE is beautiful. respect pls.
It looks ghostly somehow!
花魁道中，這遊街的踩步好特別好美，讓我想起「邯鄲學步」！
Gorgeous procession gorgeous woman. The unison is beautiful
Somewhere on TH-cam there is an interview with a modern Oiran. Normally they don't do interviews.
bro I swear youtube is spying on me, I just catch up to demon slayer entertainment arc and youtube said hey you saw that oiran walk? here's the IRL XD
Stunning... just gorgeous!!
Thank you for this beautiful video !
I want to go to Japan to see this.😭
I always find interesting japanese and Chinese culture idk there's something captivating and is amazing that more people are looking for this content due to Demon slayer haha
*"BY ANY CHANCE, IS THAT YOUR WIFE TOO!!!?? - gets punched in the face - "*
- Zenitsu
I’m here because the episode from Kimetsu no yaiba.. Oiran walks 👀😅
such a slow performance I love it😍
Loved seeing this as it reminds me of the lovely movie 'Sakuran'
I love japan so much. I love every thing about japan
