Urgent for information about ancient Japanese Yoshihara Gallery and Sheol Teahouse.
During the Edo period in Japan, with the support of Machiavellian class, a large-scale "veranda" appeared. The "veranda" is a place where brothels are concentrated. The most representative one is the veranda loved by Edo Yoshihara, around which the culture of the machi people developed at that time. While concentrating brothels and strengthening control, the Tokugawa shogunate tried its best to ban private prostitution, but it did not decrease but increased, especially in Tang Nv. According to Shou Man Zhen's manuscript, there were twenty or thirty "Tang Nv" in every bathroom at that time. They are no different from prostitutes in drinking, singing and bathing. It was not until the shogunate closed more than 70 bathrooms in Kuanwen in six years and forced more than 500 "Tang Nv" to move to the "veranda" in Yoshihara that this private prostitution gradually disappeared. In addition, there are many street prostitutes with uncertain residence, such as "Nightingale" and "Shifu Jun", among which Yoshida-machi and Muqiao's "Nightingale House" are the most famous. Water prostitutes are called "steamed buns on board". They used to sell steamed buns on boats and later became prostitutes. "Boat steamed bread" is higher than "supper", and the supper fee is slightly more expensive. "Nightingale" generally has ten words, and "boat steamed bread" has fifty to one hundred words. In Japan during this period, male prostitutes also became popular. The samurai class that flourished after the end of heian period was the protector of masculinity. During the Warring States period, the "little surname system" was established, and the princes competed to serve the left and right. During the Edo period, male prostitutes based on the "Sheol Teahouse" reached a peak.
