●Why did Oiran walk parades? th-cam.com/video/w_O77dWhyAM/w-d-xo.html If you’ve ever seen an 花魁 Oiran prostitute in Japanese anime or movies, you might have noticed that they tie their obi belts in the front. Usually the ties come to the back, so why did Oiran do it this way? Oiran were the top rank Yujyo prostitutes within the government approved red light districts called 遊郭 Yukaku. From a very young age, they are trained to acquire various skills such as music, art, tea ceremony, literature, board games, etc., to become the ideal woman. These women of beauty and culture were the authority and pride of the Yukaku district and it would cost millions of yen worth of money to meet them just once. An Oiran could even reject men she didn’t like. The jobs of Oiran were to be as beautiful and gorgeous as possible, so this is why they wore flamboyant kimono, super tall shoes, and decorative hair ornaments, and tied their obi in the front to make it look more stunning. Only women like Oiran who had multiple servants who would do everything for her will be able to wear such fashion, because having an obi tie in the front means you can not do anything such as house chores. *The content is based on personal studies and experience There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects
Fun fact: The trend of wearing the obi tied in the front started with the noblewomen, who tied theirs in the front to show that they didn't need to work. The Oiran and Tayū quickly adopted this, and given their fame, the noblewomen got offended and started wearing their obi in the back in order to NOT have their looks compared to those of courtesans.
I always thought that it meant it was easier for them to undress. Kimono has a lot of layers to it and I figured it would be hard to "preform" wearing one 😂
Oh yeah also I did watch an akidearest video a while back (when it first came out about a year ago I think) about it and I think it's one of my sources but it could have been a kind of a different thing considering that there are multiple different names and ranks to these women and I watched that video a while back
I personally always knew that word is in the English vocabulary. What i didn’t realise is how accurately did demon slayer season 2 portray Oiran prostitutes.
It’s amazing that prostitutes were held in such high honor and esteem for once! They’re people too! We are so used to seeing prostitutes living on the fringes of society, standing on street corners, jumping into strangers cars out of desperation for money for drugs. Also, seeing them get very badly beaten or killed by some random sadist who is not in prison yet… Thank you for sharing a refreshing change to that stereotype! I respect the honor Japanese people seem to give one another!
Don’t get it twisted, poorer prostitutes getting used like trash happened/happens in both feudal and modern Japan. The culture of Oiran, which was State approved by the Shogunate, was something of the highest of luxuries and thus required that Oiran be at the pinnacle of femininity to please their consorts and compete with other Oiran. They were courtesans, not common whores, entreating them wasn’t just for pleasure but for status and in feudal Japan status was everything, just expressed differently than in the West (ie Europe and US).
Being a material girl is being a slave. A slave to material. They can never be selfless and generous hearted and giving. And they would never be satisfied because there is no end to owning materials. You remain a slave.

I mean they were trained in art and music and stuff. Plus they might have to train young to aquire the skills by the age they are leant to their guests. Aka the sleeping is as adults but the skills are trained from a young age.
@@jos-josradvanji6203 yeah, no. Pimps and pedos go hand in hand. Prostitution exploited children for most of history, it's only recently in some places that things are more normal
I am a student of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iai Jutsu - Tosa Juku Austria Honbu Dojo. My teacher, Erwin Steinhauser, was the first non japanese to be included into the Kobudo-Kyokai. I enjoy your videos and he liked the video where you explain "Chiburi". We talked about it after my exam for 5th Kyu today. Greetings to you Shogo
Not really. Obi were originally just sashes for holding the kimono together and wearing one in the front meant you couldn't really do stuff. Later, noblewomen started to wear their obi in the front to show that they didn't need to work, and the Oiran and Tayū adopted this. The noblewomen got offended and started wearing their obi in the back.
I feel like "prostitutes" in ancient East Asia like Oiran or Gisaeng lived better lives compared to most women during that time. They're cultured, educated, have social clout, money, actually get to socialize with influential people and spared from manual labor.
Don't need to search it's like 3/4 of the comments sadly .___. (Usually I wouldn't mind but if it's basically the same thing 80 times it gets boring to read)
There's another TH-cam channel (I don't remember the name) said that the reason why the belt is at the front is it would be easier for the customer to open it when the Oiran do their "job". Is that right? I'm very sorry if this question offended your culture.
I'd assume that would be truer for lower ranking prostitutes who needed to do quicker jobs and couldn't afford to reject customers... These 'belts' that the Oiran wears in the video, paired with the shoes and hair decorations, don't give the impression of being easier to open at all 🤣
Oiran didn't wear that flashy stuff all the time though, only for oiran dochū and other special occasions. They dressed normally in most other situations.
Those old pictures of the oiran were clearly underage :/ Im sorry to every girl and woman that has suffered and had no bodily autonomy throughout history. I love all my sisters and we are still fighting for our bodily autonomy and rights.
I actually really enjoy when you upload this kind of video! , i'm very interested with knowing other people country and their culture . I always love your video!
I like that the women sound like they were highly respected and could reject men they didn’t want. No one should be forced into anything and I’m glad these women weren’t. I learned something really cool from this, thank you
Originally long manicured nails were a sign of wealth bc it meant that you didn't need to do the physical labor required to feed yourself but rather had serfs or servants to do it for you.
The amount of times I’ve seen in games, especially children’s games, will they have like Japanese related outfits for characters there’s always one that has the OB in the front and the oil on hairstyle and I’m assuming it’s just because they don’t think that anyone’s gonna notice that they have it’s technically a high-class prostitute character outfit in the game it’s supposed to be sfw
So I read a book called Memoirs of a Geisha which I found very interesting but people say that it’s not accurate. Have you read it? What are your thoughts?
It was not just to look stunning, but because elaborate obi knots usually require a second person to help you get dressed by tying it in the back where you can’t reach. Japanese prostitutes had to be able to get redressed on their own, and not take an hour to do so, so they would tie their obi in the front. This directly contrasted with maiko and geisha, who were not prostitutes, and who always tied their obi in the back with the help of an assistant. This is the high class formal way to tie an obi.
I will say it almost looks more regal too in a way. I've always thought it just looked very proper and almost "rich". And I would assume at least a little bit comfortable :p
Bro, a question. What are weekends like in Japan? It's that l've heard in some videos where he talks about Japan and I heard that the japanese hardly have time to rest, or something like that. The point is that I don' t believe that since everyone has the right to rest and I want to get that doubt out of my head.
So I'm not sure how accurate it is/was, but Memoirs of a Geisha (book) mentioned that obi was tied to the front of workingwomen because their obi and clothes were so frequently off, that it became pointless to redress correctly everytime. ?
@@powerpuff_avengerSoo the very first thing I said was "I'm not sure how accurate it is, but", and the point of my comment was to help/receive feedback on the concept.. not the book's credibility 🙄🛒
@@enniruth The knot is still a bit complicated to make regardless of it being on the fromt so that may not be the case.

*The content is based on personal studies and experience
There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects
There is that in Demon slayer the demon Daki is one of the Oiran there and she is considered really beautiful
I learned this when Soul Calibur 3 came out.
U
We want male versions of oran, sounds like a dream
I wanna hear the other theories now!
Fun fact: The trend of wearing the obi tied in the front started with the noblewomen, who tied theirs in the front to show that they didn't need to work. The Oiran and Tayū quickly adopted this, and given their fame, the noblewomen got offended and started wearing their obi in the back in order to NOT have their looks compared to those of courtesans.
🤣
Whether or not this is true, it’s definitely believable.
Oiranless behavior from the nobles
@@nathminerhaven2097 "No Oiran?"
I can already feel the imaginary scoffs and passive seething these noblewomen did when they found out they've been copied.
Is to assert dominance exactly
girlbossing
@@tink6225 gatekeeping
Gaslighting
Gun safetying
Improvise, adapt and overcome
So it's pretty much saying "I'm superior to you."
Yes, they were the highest ranking women in the red light district. It's similar to how a queen wears a crown and extravagant gown.
Them: you look nice today
Basically just to distinguish between them and regular prost1tutes
More like "you can untie them anytime dear"
Doesn't change they fact their a prostitute
So basically.. in that day & age…
They would be considered “Bad Bitches”
Respectfully
With syphilis
Simply put, but accurate.
@@nasis18 Yes, why complicate things ☺️💅
Simplicity is beautifully understood 💆🏾♀️💃🏾
respectfully
The most desirable prostitute is still a prostitute.
I always thought that it meant it was easier for them to undress. Kimono has a lot of layers to it and I figured it would be hard to "preform" wearing one 😂
that was what I immediately thought too... but if that was the case, why didn't all prostitutes wear their obi at the front?
That was my guess
Prostitutes "preform" all dressed up.
@@stacyowl1658, only licensed prostitutes had their obi tied in the front.
Oh yeah also I did watch an akidearest video a while back (when it first came out about a year ago I think) about it and I think it's one of my sources but it could have been a kind of a different thing considering that there are multiple different names and ranks to these women and I watched that video a while back
Don't think that doing "house chores" was ever in their job description
Oiran? No. Just about everyone else was a slave
It's not in my job description either yet I still do them
@@marysue9661 oof
He meant around their own house, not as a job. He meant that they were so rich and respected that they had slaves to do everything for them
That's why they tied it in the front
What's ur point
"Wear flamboyant-"
tengen: TAKE MY MONEY JUST GIVE IT
I was looking for a comment like thus one 🤣
Yep
Perfection.
Ah a man of culture I see
Finally a demon slayer comment
People in the comment section when they realise Flamboyant is an actual English word and was not invented by Demon Slayer
I personally always knew that word is in the English vocabulary. What i didn’t realise is how accurately did demon slayer season 2 portray Oiran prostitutes.
I knew it was a word too, but demon slayer just used it a lot for tengen
I think most people know that and are just making a reference, it's a pretty common word
Who doesnt know that?
A lot of children consume anime and don't have a developed vocabulary.
It’s amazing that prostitutes were held in such high honor and esteem for once! They’re people too! We are so used to seeing prostitutes living on the fringes of society, standing on street corners, jumping into strangers cars out of desperation for money for drugs. Also, seeing them get very badly beaten or killed by some random sadist who is not in prison yet… Thank you for sharing a refreshing change to that stereotype! I respect the honor Japanese people seem to give one another!
Oirans were more along the lines of courtesans not really prostitutes per se, those would be yujo
They uh, had those too.
Sorry if that makes you sad.
These women are the highest tier of prostitution in historical Japan.
Oiran are kinda like modern escort who not only gave sexual services.
Of course that doesn't mean every prostitute in Japan was "lucky" to become one.
Don’t get it twisted, poorer prostitutes getting used like trash happened/happens in both feudal and modern Japan.

Hum hum it is to be taken with a pinch of salt , oiran were slaves to their owner still !! It was not a chosen career
so basically because they're ✨material gworls✨

This is how these kinds of workers SHOULD be treated. As people who are choosing to spend their time with you, not as worthless and desperate

Tengen uzui: flamboyant
You have never produced a video I didn’t find totally fascinating 😊

“Flamboyant” is a general term , not just from anime, and the kimono he showed was very much the definition of flamboyant, hope this helps ^^

Why ? Because you want to live in Japan but you don't want to be treated like a slave ? You'll be treated just like everyone else, honey. 😂😂😂
Before I finish listening im guessing its so they could have greater control over thier own clothing. Its like a belt someone behind you can remove.
I've never thought that white paint makes them prettier, quite the opposite actually
Very interesting Shogo. Thank you for information
