- Oiran procession at Edomura, Nikko, Japan.
Edomura is a Theme Park in Japan, Nikko.
You can check out buildings (homes, shops, magistrate, samurai residence) which are similar to the ones being built in the Edo-period.
Also there are various programs to attend. Like Ninja Theatre, Boat Cruise, seasonal events and Oiran Parade (which you can see in the video).
The programs are only in Japanese, but you can enjoy the Ninja Theatre, the Haunted House, the maze and some others without any language knowledge.
There are several Theme Parks in Japan and it can be a unique and funny experience to check out one.
I have visited 3 of them (Edomura, Toei Eigamura and Azuchi Momoyama Bunka Mura), but Edomura really is the best. And it is near to Tokyo.
(Toei Eigamura is within Kyoto city and is also a really good place to visit.)
I wrote about Edomura on my blog (well it is in Hungarian, but you can check the photos :) ).

"She would be dead meat if she lived in the mountains"
- Inosuke
what "dead meat" mean everyone can explain to me
@@toenglishtheway3176 basically its; "she wouldve died if she lived in the mountains"- bec she walks so slowly
Hahaa
Omg! I thought of it when i saw this to 🤣🤣
I had a feeling someone was going to say this 🤣
"She's so slow. She'd get killed in a second in the mountains."
-Inosuke
Finally a demon slayer fans
I knew I would find a Demon Slayer fan here! The only reason I clicked this video.
Literally i just buying demon slayer snacks and click on youtube, finding some oiran procession....and finally find demon slayer comunity in comments :)...and listenning Gurenge....but who cares... coincidence?
I can see those two comments from Demon slayers fan watch a different subtitle versions.
Inoko chan 😂🤣😅
Damn the cameraman deserves a raise for time travelling to the edo period to give us this piece of history
Seems like many people travelled back in time because of their phones😂
There's no time therefore you can't travel time in the first place, maybe dimensions yeah
@@ahabrawgaming1289 what are you smoking?
@@cav6969 Smoking all the time 😎
I've created a teleportation gun
The Oiran's ability to walk on those platform shoes is astounding. How long one train's in order to perfect the walking technique is dedication.
I could do it but not for that long
I heard from Let's Ask Shogo, a Japanese UA-camr, that it takes 3 years to master walking in the koma geta.
@@5martgir14ever I watched the same video! At first I thought this Oiran was wearing tabi, and because of that video I knew she shouldn’t be. Then I realized her feet were painted white! Here’s to learning stuff on UA-cam!
Absolutely fabulous !! I love this ultra beautiful Oirans super high ultra beautiful Geta platform shoes 🖤🖤🖤🖤and very beautiful traditional outfit ! The way she walks is so very graceful and feminine ! Everyone walking in procession is very coordinated walking together too . ! I love this ❤️❤️😊😊very beautiful !!
3 years, they said
For those who don't know, oirans were very high ranking prostitutes in the edo period (1600-1868) all the way up until 1957 when prostitution was banned. Whenever a customer paid for their services there would be this long procession. It should be noted that oirans weren't your common prostitute, these were exceptionally beautiful women who, in addition to being a prostitute, were also well versed in traditional arts like singing, classical dance, and skilled at instruments such as the koto.
They were S tier prostitutes. Very valuable and expensive
@@andynonymous6769 I can't quite say for sure as I obviously wasn't alive back then. This is just stuff I know off the top of my head
@@andynonymous6769 no they actually had a higher station in society than many men. They were considered ideal females.
It cost 750 us dollars to spend one minute with these women. You could spend millions and she still wouldnt sleep with you.
@@Thejoeb yeah, I was thinking- if they were low class then they wouldn't make a big flashy procession to show who bought them. If they were looked down upon, then the buyers would've probably wanted them to be as discreet as possible
The man holding the umberella was the strongest man in edo era 😭
fr lmao

Oreki
Look at how he is holding it, it make his arms not tired
He is definitely strong. He isn't holding the umbrella the usual way 😁😍
Just goes to show how incredibly accurate and beautiful the animation for Kimestu no Yaiba was for their Orion walk! They really did it justice!
True
Not to be that person but oiran*
As an foreigner I didn’t think they did this anymore. This has a much different effect compared to seeing it in an anime. The skill and grace to walk on platforms like that. 👍👏
Watch "A courtesan with flowered skin"
"As an foreigner I didn’t think they did this anymore"
They don't. What you saw were character actors working in a Japanese theme park.
I am not a fan of anime at all!
this is a tourist attraction, it's not done in everyday Japan. these are all actors
It’s all fun and games not until you see her eyes with japanese characters.
Which shows upper 6😂
lmao 💀
damn dude call the hashira
And her hair becomes white with lime green on the ends of her hair
Yeah she more so if she specifically says Oni-Channnnn!!
imagine having a whole procession thru town just to show off your nice shoes lmfao what a boss move
The purpose of this is Oiran meeting her customer who bought her for the night, and people would come out to see who had the money to purchase an Oiran... It was all for the purpose of showing off the wealth of the customer. So it is a sad for me.
@@DuneDemon8 that is slightly depressing
She’s selling her body to possibly pay off her debts, commit a crime, or maybe because she wants to do this
@@_.-Lily-._ selling her body yes.
But for oiran they are higher status , have more benefits , earn more , and have the right to reject customer.
Top of the ranks.
Trained since young .
But this is a thing of the past .
No oiran and prostitution allowed now
An oiran can decline any customer no matter how much he offers... so it’s not all that depressing. It is a boss move.
The kimono the hair could be up to 40 lbs, on those getas, balancing and looking graceful. This is a sport. She is an athlete.
This is how I walk back from my lunch break
I can feel the pain walking with a high shoes in slow walk. The oiran and rest of the crew are truly amazing in their job.
and the clothes too. it’s really heavy from the looks of it
It's hard to use. But the clothes it's comfortable.
But Daki is an expert at it cuz she can move as fast as usain bolt with those shoes
The clothes weigh about 30kgs, The high shoes, 3kg each.
Geta sandals are comfortable. They’re easy to walk in.
Zenitsu: HOW DARE YOU HAVE A WIFE THAT PRETTY!!!!!!!!!
Tengen: THAT'S NOT MY WIFE!!! *proceeds to destroy zenitsu's face*
although apparently suma was an oiran during her stay there
o-o
Imagine if zenitsu showed up in the video.
OMG IM GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP 😂💀😭👏🏻
🤣😂 yeah
@@sophiaangelaasido4634 wow really?
The amount of control they all have over their limbs is incredible. In the beginning I thought the very first man was an animatronic
Absolutely beautiful. I love how they preserve history.
I also remember a similar thing from the anime demon Slayer. The animation is top notch being able to describe everything so amazingly
The person portraying an Oiran is doing a great job, I am instantly allured to her whole look. Even the expression on her face is amazing.
I don't even see her face 🤠
I think oiran is a status among them, like a level and oiran is the highest level, I forgot the term for their job/referring to them collectively. But I think the lady is not portraying an oiran she actually is an oiran
Edit: they're called courtesans collectively but I'm not totally sure
@@neon_lights Oiran were high ranking prostitutes, and since prostitution is illegal in Japan, she is not an actual Oiran
She actually has the Oiran rank. She had to work hard to get to that position. They don’t commit prostitution anymore though. Other than that they still learn all the other stuff.
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto kimetsu no yaiba?
The parade, which takes place in spring, historically re-enacts the walk made by top courtesans around their district in honour of their guests.
The modern parade features three in full traditional attire with approximately 70 accompanying servants.
oh okay, it's re-enactment. hehe I was about to ask the banned of prostitution.
@@mariaerikabautista2939 people can still hire oiran for events because they are good hosts. they aren't gonna fuck ya tho
@@Piperonis no solo buenos anfintriones, sino que eran buenas artistas, por lo que podrian tocar musica para los eventos.
@@Piperonis i thought they were geishas, not oirans?
@@Piperonis You're thinking of Geishas. They're exactly the same as Oiran but no sex, just entertainers.
She's the most beautiful Oiran l have ever seen among others.
Graceful, elegant, and confident in every action process slowly step by step to the destination.
Thank you for uploading.
Demon Slayer memes aside, the Oiran is so beautiful.

This is a fancy walk to show off the rich status of the client paying for a top and best of the best of prostitution
@@jianxiongRaven cool
this was done for prostitutes walking to meet their clients but okay bro 😂
@@jogo798 Nothing cool about this. The girls were treated like objects for wealthy men to show off.
Philippines cant relate😂
I love that every role has a specific walk. Really cool details. And knowing the oirans costume is super heavy makes me respect her balance so much more.
I know it's just a re-enactment, but she is GLORIOUS!
Looks so out of this world like watching a living fairy tale.
Yes but in real life they we're relly sad. They we're sold as child and then hace ti sold their bodies and learn all manners yo survive and scalated in that world
@@IGUniverse Irene how are you posting this comment from Edo Japan??
@@KanemiX3 why You ask?
@@IGUniverse : @ "insert name here" wrongly thinks it is impossible to know other peoples culture from afar. He does not understand that some of us are students of history and culture .... that we can learn things without actually being there.
Don't mean any disrespect but this represents a luxury prostitute going to its customer, and the whole procession is to show to the people who had enough money to purchase her for the night. People gathered to see her and who will she meet. Even thou Oiran were type of celebrities in that time, these are still women who in majority of cases, were sold and children and had to become prostitutes.
Oiran (花魁) was a specific category of high ranking courtesan in Japanese history. Divided into a number of ranks within this category, oiran were considered - both in social terms and in the entertainment they provided - to be above common prostitutes, known as yūjo (遊女, lit. 'woman of pleasure'
You notice that demon slayer has entertainment district arc and inosuke said when would be dead meat if she live in the mountains

For those who want to know more
Please check my reply.
I explained about Yujo, geisha, Oiran, etc.
Yujo: Women who provide sexual services at Yukaku. Most of them are educated and many can play traditional Japanese dances and musical instruments.
Geisha: Female entertainer. Some provide sexual services, but this is at their own will.
Kamuro: A child of Yujo apprentice. Most of them are children sold to their parents, and the others are children of Yujo. They wait on high-ranking Yujo hand and foot and learn work as Yujo. In addition, children who are smart or have a talent for music get talent education so that they can become higher-ranking Yujo.
Oiran: A woman with a particularly high rank among Yujo. Not only are they exceptionally beautiful, but they also highly educated and were well versed in traditional arts like singing, classical dance and playing musical instruments. They were out of reach of ordinary people, and even the rich person was not easy to meet. In order to meet Oiran, it is necessary to have someone introduce him, and in the process, the customer was judged whether he is wealthy and has no problem with his personality. Even if a customer is allowed to meet Oiran, he cannot talk to her in the first two visits. He had to call Geisha and live it up extravagantly. In addition, if he was disliked by Oiran at the visit, he will not be allowed to meet again. Oiran was able to choose a customer. Also, if the customer visit another Yujo after three visits, he will be considered cheating and he will pay a lot of money or be banished. There were Some Oiran who never provided sexual services until Miuke (Other person pay Yujo's debt to let Yujo quit Yujo. Usually doing this to make Yujo one's own wife) was done. This is because Oiran didn't sell herself short.
Oiran procession: Oiran walks around the Yukaku on some special day such as the day when they pick up valuable customers. This parade also has the purpose of preserving the dignity of Oiran By dressing luxuriously and being accompanied by a lot of people. Oiran usually doesn't go out to increase her value, so only this time can ordinary people see Oiran. This is like a parade of celebrity in modern days.
Very important thing:
In the sense of those times, Yujo was not a profession to be looked down upon. They were only sold to their parents when they were very young, and they did not become prostitutes on their own initiative. They were recognize as really devoted daughters by people. And especially Oiran is not only good-looking, but also highly educated and well versed in traditional arts, so Oiran was respected as ideal female.
@@hanabi1856 @hanamukeiro more on geishas, it was against the rules in the brothels they worked in to service the customers sexually and would bring hard punishment since they were invading the yujo's work, but in smaller bbrothels the rules wernt as strict. In early 18th century the government believed woman being geishas would disturb the morals so it was really hard for geishas to get work by their art and many had to turn to prostitution.
the fact that an anime bought me here speaks VOLUMES of Japanese culture. I want to learn more
"She walks so slow, she would never survive in the mountains."
-Inosuke
although memes aside, I'm really invested in Japanese culture, and the Oiran is very pretty!
Let's ask Shogo channel is exactly what you would need to learn more!
He made a video that talks about Oirans and yujyoos!
Have that person try to walk in that 18 in. I would love to see how fast he can move. Everything in Japan is about art.
@@jiaunmew878 its an anime character 💀
@@Cypherlul I know 😂
her walking move is stunning. If you don't see her shoes and look at her body, it looks as if it is floating and moving at the same time.
I can’t picture her tripping over her platforms
I just noticed she's using the guy on the right for support
Comments in 2014 : what an amazing culture
Comments in 2023 : DEMON SLAYER !!
Beautiful culture! Thank you for sharing!
Sad that most people can only relate this to demon slayer and not just appreciate this walk as a sad thing in the past but also glad that it’s helping people that saw demon slayer get interested in Japan culture and history.
Oniichan
Haven't seen the season two of demon slayer yet(in which the oiran procession takes place) I just stumbled upon this once and ever since then I'm hooked haha
Reminds me of Demon Slayer
ayy
it's you again your everywhere mate you should do a Video where you comment every single video in UA-cam haha
So true, it's the way she dresses that reminds me of it lmao, it's why I clicked
Daki...
Whatchu doing here man?
the moment I saw this video, I knew half of the comments would be Demon Slayer themed, and since I'm watching this for school purposes, it makes my day that much better :)
Nice and Rich culture of Japanese... thanks for sharing I always wonder how they had looked like.
I heard these women were really educated ones...
Besides western countries disruptions Japanese had a really really rich cultural heritage.
This woman is the best at the walk. She is amazing.
when i was a kid and i'd see performers like these, i thought they also lived in old ways like wearing those clothes at home and heating home with charcoal and fireplace with no electricity lol
History, Culture, and Traditional gonna love it to see it again to all countries.
Japanese culture and religion is deeply rooted in rituals and traditions. It is very interesting!
I just looooove this delicate procession
🥰
Where are they off to in such a hurry?
Ha😆that made literally laugh out loud. Thank you Michael Mackay
@@hime986 me too
I loled
Exactly😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I always wanted to wear all those layers in kimono, and there are places that let you dress up as oiran, so someday I can! 💜
What a pretty town, i hope nothing bad happens to it.
This sounds like a threat
Like how some demon slayers are infiltrating the entertainment district to rescue tengen 's wives, remember what happened at the end of the season to the town ?
@@divdsk5887 Tanjiro, Uzui, Suma, Makio, Hinatsuru, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Nezuko at the end of season 2: **surrounded by a burning town** We did it! We saved the city!
Watching this reminded me of the sound pillar, and 3 boys who are forced to dressed as little girls for a dangerous mission: to find the demon disguised as a high-class oiran. :) Zenko.. Inoko.. and.. yeah 😂
Oh no some spoilers but small ones.
Looking forward to S2
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TOO LOL
Also reminds me of a girl demon fighting a demon disguised as a oiran
Sumiko???
And sumiko...
Trust the Demon Slayer fans to throw in Inosuke’s commentaries 😂
She look so Elegant walking through the town like that
Sanji and Zenitsu will be happy
UA-cam recommended this to me while I was watching Demon slayer (red light district arc)
"Is that knockout your wife?" Zenitsu to God of Festivities, Uzui Tengen 😆
I want to go to Japan to see this.😭
This will always remain one of the absolute smoothest, coolest things I'll ever see in my life
This was recommended because I searched Memoirs of a Geisha, reactions, what is a Geisha/Oiran, after I watched it on Netflix. Gotta say.. it is interesting and DAYUM what a Flex. I’m just glad nobody interrupted the show because this has history and with all do respect to those involved. A lovely display that is recorded. Subarashii !! 👏👏👏 This is an honor. I will only dart my eyes towards amazement and appreciation. Arigatou gozaimasu.
here’s some history behind the orian if you’d like to read it! The movie you had watched was about geishas remember how her sister was sold off to ““ the pleasure”” district instead of the performance district? “”The pleasure” district had bought young girls to turn them into what we would call prostitution now a days, but it used to be very respected and seen more high class than a geisha even. As sad as it is it is a part of Japan’s culture.
Geisha and oirans are not same .That movie is totally misleading ofcourse made by a white guy
So if according to the movie..her sister's rank is even higher?she became an Orian?
That movie isn't accurate at all.
Oirans are highest ranking prostitutes. Only top rich people could afford them. And they were allowed to resist customers whenever they wanted. They made a lot of millions, one night with such women could cost a million for top girl. Geishas are not prostitutes. They weren't allowed to have sex with customers. They would entertain the customers in pairs during customer meeting with oiran. They were entertainers and lower standing compared to oirans. Yujo's were cheaper prostitutes. Low rank working girls. They had it worse.
"Let's Ask Shogo" brought me here :D
Lol because I've been watching him lately this bought itself to me😂
@@hime986 same!
I love how my electronics know me so well it's like "here watch this I know you love it" and I'm like yea you're right🤭

I can feel the pain in my ankle if I fall from those heels
Lmao it'll go *snap*
Extremely elegant. Love Asian culture.
Thank you for sharing. Absolutely fascinating and wonderful view. My first time being exposed to historically fascinating Japan.
so beautiful.
This beautiful woman has my respect to be able to walk in such high shoes and look elegant while doing so while I'm here not even being able to walk in shoes that have a small heel without faceplating the floor
so cute how intrigued that little boy looked
Super cool video. I’ve never seen an actual procession in real life. Thanks so much for sharing.
I love japan so much. I love every thing about japan
POV : It got randomly recommend to u during the demon Slayer entertainment arch
I respect the guy holding the huge umbrella, not only is it heavy but the way he has to hold it is pretty uncomfortable.
.thats why i love Japan ❤👘
Daki caught in 4k
This is a ritualistic, highly-stylized, slow-motion dance-procession.
And you can only find it in Japan.
bro I swear youtube is spying on me, I just catch up to demon slayer entertainment arc and youtube said hey you saw that oiran walk? here's the IRL XD
Japan always kept thier own tradition
Demon slayer fans including me: *we have been summoned*
YESSSS
What about one piece 🥴
Damn I can’t even walk in 4 inch platforms 😂 but seriously they should for sure put this in the next movie about Japan
There was a movie, here’s the trailer ua-cam.com/video/S6Oxo8ooHb4/v-deo.html
This particular procession is not in the movie, but Memoirs of a Geisha has the protagonist dancing in geta like the oiran's. Look up "Saiyuri's dance" or memoirs of a geisb and you should be able to find it.
4 inch??? Those things are supposed to be 18 inches!!! And the walk shes doing, usually takes 3 years to learn, just she can move. A whole different walk, just for shoes!
I’m here because the episode from Kimetsu no yaiba.. Oiran walks 👀😅
Thank you UA-cam algorithms. Thank you! Great vid. So want to visit Japan one day.
Loved seeing this as it reminds me of the lovely movie 'Sakuran'
Me encanta que los japoneses conserven su herencia histórica y cultural. Ese es el Japón del periodo Edo, es como viajar al pasado. 🇯🇵❤👘
the sound of this is so mesmerizing i just want it in the background, its so stupid and silly and calming
That one should turn as a wedding tradition.
Beautiful procession...reminds me of the Fox's Wedding.
Oiran terkeren sepanjang masa, anggun, tertata, elegant. Setiap gerakan terasa lembut dan mahal, kompak juga. Keren banget👍
Whatever the purpose of these parades, it's damn beautiful
To show off! Lol. If the gentleman was rich enough and socially high enough that the Oiran accepts him, (they can be very picky) there is a parade to show off the beauty and quality of the Lady on the way to her "date". Of course, these days its only a historical re-creation of a high quality "call girl" and nothing is shared with a gentleman except tea in a public exhibition.
In the past Oirans were high ranking courtesans. So the procession was to attract clients.
@@isobelduncan oh wow
@@kath5201 wow thank you for explaining
@@kath5201 Pretty sure the Oiran couldn't refuse customers. It was the Tayū that could do it.
That was beautiful,,, strange ,,,, Thank you for Filming this !,,
She killed it in those shoes!!!
Awesome, considering in those times of the samurai
I love how Komurasaki uses kuruwa kotoba (like with the (arinsu) at the end of her sentences. Once again learning stuff from One Piece
Gorgeous procession gorgeous woman. The unison is beautiful
This oiran’s grace is chefs kiss 🤌🏻❤️
To think a walk can be made to look so beautiful!!
I mean it's just a walk, but my goodness *What a walk* !! 😵
Top models around the world got nuth'n on those girls. Beautiful too!!
I 100% agree with you.... it's art
The costume of an oiran for this kind procession (basically just to show herself to the city, thanks all, display her skills and attracts more customers) was really heavy. Some says it was around 30kg but I'm not sure about that (it would mean heavier than an average samurai armor !). The specific walk plus the weight of the costumes must have made this kind of procession exhausting.
It takes about 3 years for an Oiran to master that walk, 18inch heels...XD meanwhile I trip over my own feet in tennis shoes!
That pattern was to write japanese "8." For kinda blessing and sort of lucky for people who join the event and the shop(s) which invite the parade to go and bless them with the glare of luckiness (and surely the shop will pay for that.)
This is the most beautiful walk I ve ever seen
DEMON SLAYER , take me here
So graceful
This is soooo cool, the walking is hypnotizing.
