There are still real Tayu in Japan, and they do not wear wigs. It's their real hair. They are highly respected because they have dedicated their lives to tradition. The way they entertain customers is way different then a normal Geisha as well. They even have a dance that geisha are not allowed to perform. It's for Tayu only.

memoirs of a geisha is actually very misleading, there are some details in the movie that are incorrect and inconsistent to reality. Such as in the movie geishas are wrongly portrayed as basically prostitutes, but in reality geishas are not prostitutes, they are entertainers who sing, dance, play instruments, engage in conversations and basically just entertain their clients, they do not have sex with their clients. That's one of the big misconceptions about geishas, they're always wrongly portrayed as prostitutes in movies & TV shows.

Well, 400 meters is not *that* far and 30 kilograms not *that* heavy, especially when the weight is distributed around your body. And it's not always about money.

Han Lockhart Oiran can wear up to 6-7 kimonos, which can be pretty heavy combined with the hair, and all the accessories and add ons, also having to balance on the 8 ft shoes.

In Zashiki, Oiran sat on the upper seat, and the guest was always sitting on the lower seat. Oiran class prostitutes were higher than guests. The first party (the first time), oiran sat in a place away from the customer, did not eat or drink regardless of customers. At this time, the customers were conditioned and could not associate with Oiran if they were deemed unsuitable. From the early childhood, Oiran candidates were thoroughly educated as classics and calligraphy, tea ceremony, Japanese poetry, koto, shamisen, Go and other entertainment since as Kamuro. To Oiran, many famous people of the day, including samurai and wealthy townspeople, also attended, and Yoshiwara had the appearance of a cultural salon. In Edo that was tolerant to sex, Oiran existed as an incarnation representing female beauty, the highest grade character and standing behavior were required, and it existed as a symbol of Edo's mature culture as Ukiyoe prints by famous painters.

The effort to preserve ancient tradition makes Japan so unique and beautiful. Kitsune sama (Fox) seems so popular in Japan. I know wild deer freely roam in Nara are regarded as messenger of Gods. Wild foxes are also treated well in Japan's Fox Village. There are many shrines about foxes such as Inaritaisha in Kyoto. Mr. John, perhaps will you investigate about these Japan's spiritual animals and stories behind them. It would be very interesting! Thank you xx

The tradition of white makeup was actually original from china as a pale complexion was considered beautiful and wealthy. During the heian period about 1000 years ago (way before geisha) they used white makeup so it isnt exclusive to geisha culture and also the story about the candle light is kinda false even though it may hold some truth

@Oshidorinohina

It went further back than just 1800's. it goes back to the first era's of Japan. It was a way to distinguish nobility from lower class and was worn by men and women alike however, it started becoming popular among women of middle class status and above so it was adopted as a beauty trend, and over time it became synonymous with entertainers. Also ohaguro or "blackened teeth" started as a noble trend but eventually the courtesans of the pleasure quarters adopted it. I wouldn't depend on this guy to know too much about Kyoto Geiko - that's a prestige all on their own since they are typically more private.

"Wanna see her feet? It's not for free!" That's so inaccurate! It's more like "wanna see her feet? NOT EVER!" Geisha never show their body nor skin aside from what the kimono and makeup show.

Japan's top models are so very beautiful. Very complicated kimonos are eye candy. The complex mixes of patterns and colors is just lovely. I can't describe it any better. Human beings transforming themselves into flowers, what a concept of Grace.

you can still see a somewhat simpler Oiran Dochu every day if you go to Edo Wonderland near Nikko, at Kinugawa onsen, which is also a great place to stay for an evening and enjoy onsen.

The Highest level of Oiran was always the most expensive to buy. I heard that many Oiran's once they reached a high level would refuse men they didn't like in hopes of taking only a wealthy man that I heard could and many times beg to marry her, but that's just as I heard anyway. I also heard that many times Oiran would act a great deal like Geisha only with the sleeping with the man part added, and sometimes they wouldn't even do anything but spend time together. It's very interesting. I'm so happy you did a video on this!

Clay Charms 4 You Bea I am sure those geta were not made for comfort! The Oiran walks for about 400 meters. She doesn't put it on until the procession starts so I don't think it's too bad .. but yeah! She's brave!! Those kimono were awesome, too! -John

such an interesting video once again!

Thank you for the greecejapan link i will look in to it. Again well done!! And keep up the good work

john prouzos Glad to pass along Grigoris's work on Japan! It's fascinating and very detailed writing! -John

An Oiran isn´t the same as a Tayu. A Tayu has high skills in art while the Oiran doesn´t.

@@Freevids99 Yeah, that's true. You can be a tayuu oiran, or the highest oiran of a specific group.

It depends on the female being the oiran though. I saw an oiran great in music, shamisen to be precised

What you said wrong. Tayu is a rank.

Oiran have high skills in art. Tayu are geisha while oiran are prostitutes, two completely different things.

I'm going to sound stupid but I have a few questions, why do you throw coins to be fed to the lion?? Also what is the purpose of the Tekomai Geisha??

they were performers strictly, and sing songs while on the parade. typically that's how you knew a tayuu or oiran parade was in procession due to the elongated singing style. that's all i know.

I watched every episode really appreciate your work John

Came to see how many people would comment on his pronunciation of “Asakusa”...but since I see none, I’ll leave mine out.... except for what I’ve already said. Lol

Love your videos. Maybe if possible, can you make a series of episodes showing Japan's rural towns and maybe some local delicacies?
