The glamorous pleasure quarters of Yoshiwara. In this place where the sounds of shamisen flow amid silk kimonos and white makeup, the courtesans traverse the boundary between art and carnal delight. Beyond the latticed screens lies a separate world where day and night are reversed.
Respect the aesthetics and institutions of the Edo period's pleasure quarters culture, and depict the complex emotions between courtesans and customers.
The highest-class pleasure quarter 'Hwawolru' in Edo's Yoshiwara. Oiran (the highest-class courtesan) is a star of the era with both refinement and beauty, and it requires three visits and thorough efforts to meet her.
Yuneo's room, adorned with gold-leaf folding screens and silk bedding. Incense smoke wafts through the air, and as the shamisen performance ends, the knot of the kimono unravels in the ensuing silence.
A banquet hall with sake and appetizers laid out on tatami mats. Amid the geisha's dance and flowing music, guests with flushed faces from the alcohol exchange knowing glances.
A secret passage hidden behind the walls of the pleasure quarters. This passage, meant for forbidden rendezvous, is known only to the courtesans and their special guests. In the narrow corridor, the hems of kimonos brush against each other.
