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.
The alley is named after Göran Hälsinge, who owned a house here in the 16th century.
He was the son of Nils Hälsinge and Appolonia Larsdotter. Appolonia Larsdotter was the breast feeder of King Erik XIV.
During part of the 16th century, the alley was called Niels Helsingz grend (1548) and probably also Helsingz grend (1553).
The alley runs between Västerlånggatan and Stora Nygatan.
Fredman's Epistle 31 suggests that prostitutes were located here in the 18th century
আগার তাহার বিভীষিকাভরা, জীবন মরণময়!
সমাজের বুকে অভিশাপ সে যে – সে যে ব্যাধি, সে যে ক্ষয়;
প্রেমের পসরা ভেঙে ফেলে দিয়ে ছলনার কারাগারে
রচিয়াছে সে যে, দিনের আলোয় রুদ্ধ ক’রেছে দ্বার!
সূর্যকিরণ চকিতে নিভায়ে সাজিয়াছে নিশাচর,
কালনাগিনীর ফনার মতন নাচে সে বুকের পর!
চক্ষে তাহার কালকুট ঝরে, বিষপঙ্কিল শ্বাস,
সারাটি জীবন মরীচিকা তার প্রহসন-পরিহাস!
ছোঁয়াচে তাহার ম্লান হয়ে যায় শশীতারকার শিখা,
আলোকের পারে নেমে আসে তার আঁধারের যবনিকা!
সে যে মন্বন্তর, মৃত্যুর দূত, অপঘাত, মহামারী-
মানুষ তবু সে, তার চেয়ে বড় – সে যে নারী, সে যে নারী!
-জীবনানন্দ দাশ।
De Wallen is the largest and best known red-light district in Amsterdam and consists of a network of alleys containing approximately three hundred one-room cabins rented by prostitutes who offer their sexual services from behind a window or glass door, typically illuminated with red lights. These "kamers" are the most visible and typical kind of red light district sex work in Amsterdam and are a large tourist attraction.
