OIRAN (花魁)
OIRAN (花魁) were high-class courtesan or prostitute in the Yoshiwara pleasure district of Edo (Tokyo). The word "Oiran" consists of two kanji 花 meaning "flower", and 魁 meaning "leader" or "first." Ａrose in the Edo period, 1600 - 1868 and offering all manner of entertainments. Among the oiran, the tayuu (太夫 or 大夫) was considered the highest rank of courtesan, and were considered suitable for the daimyo (most powerful feudal rulers). Only the wealthiest and highest ranking could hope to patronise them.
The Oiran wore tall lacquered three legs footwear could weigh up to 2 kgs (koma geta, mitsu-ashi or sanmaibageta) unlike Geishas, Oiran don't wear tabi socks even in winter!
An amazing skill of balance must have been required to walk with these 15" tall geta.
The Oiran have a particular way of walking called HACHI MOJI (figure 8 step).
The costumes worn became more and more ornate and complex. The hair style, combs and pins weighing about 3kgs and the prescribed layers of highly ornamented garments weighing about 20-30 kgs. Oiran tied their obi's at the front while Geisha at the back.
To entertain their clients, Oiran practiced the arts of dance, music, poetry and calligraphy, and an educated wit was considered essential to sophisticated conversation. Their speech preserved the formal court standards rather than the common language. A casual visitor would not be accepted; their clients would summon them with a formal invitation, and the oiran would pass through the streets in a formal procession (OIRAN DOUCHU - おいらん道中) with a retinue of servants.
The rise of the GEISHA ended the era of the OIRAN. The last recorded oiran was in 1761.

After 3 ½ years i met Sophia again. Once, we worked together as physiotherapists, before we both left the company... so, this was (more or less) an spontaneous idea to shoot on this bridge in Berlin with an typical backround while sunset happens...

Shot from the old Edison building turned lofts in Down Town Long Beach.
The first fully electric building in California.
BARGAINS - SOLDEN ( in flemish) - The start of January, every year, the hunt for bargains begins.People invade stores searching for cheap clothes, appliances, bargains.I walked in, made a charming comment on the lightning and decoration of the store and then asked if I could take some pictures.I like the athmosphere and smells, the soft lightning and colors in some highclass woman's or men's clothes stores
These are the results of an 15-20min. quick-shooting with the wonderful Larissa! We where on an area for urban gardening on the Tempelhofer Feld / Berlin / Germany
