Yoshiwara: The Beautiful Prison of Edo Japan

Описание: The Yoshiwara Pleasure Quarters was known as the "Floating World"—a glittering city of dreams. But for the women who lived there, it was a golden cage from which there was no escape.

👘In this episode of Edo Echoes, we uncover the dark reality of the Oiran (high-ranking courtesans) through the story of Jack, an American castaway, and Suiren, a woman bound by debt and honor.
Why were the gates guarded? Why was the city surrounded by a black moat?
Discover the tragic system of debt, disease, and the forbidden romance that challenged the laws of the Samurai era.
