Wait, doesn’t this count as child/human trafficking.
Yes.
Yup
Oh it would absolutely be seen as that nowadays
Ah, yes.
Oh absolutely. 😐
The big picture is, back in the feudal days, a lot of jobs were literally bone-crushing or grueling. For example, if you dug gold in Niigata, you could expect to live only for two years on average. In such a society, the life of Kamuro was not necessarily very harsh compared to others. Actually, some people might think the girl was lucky cuz she’d get educated for free, wear nice kimono, and eat white rice (many farmers could eat only millet, sweet potato, etc), and there’s a chance she hits it big, however slim the chance is.
Selling off a girl to work in the pleasure district got her way from the brutal reality of pre-industrial farming, and all the other different types of village work aren’t much less grueling either. In avery real way it was about the only chance a poor family had to get some upwards mobility for their daughter, or to get them out of the impoverished rural life.
Life prior to industrial agriculture and scientific medicine with antibiotics and vaccines was grueling and often short. Something like 2/3 of kids never even made it to 5, and 3/4 of people never made it to 15. 1/2 didn’t even make it to 1.
Further, because Japan had a closed country policy food imports were not a solution so famines were fairly frequent and of course the rural poor were hardest hit.
There was also the issue of banditry as the Edo Period featured a disarmed populace.
So, in a very real way, getting your girl into town was the best thing you could do for her. Her care, feeding, and education would be guaranteed. She would learn valuable skills to make her own way, and gain a career education. This was before public schooling; illiteracy was more common than literacy. Town came with a chance she could get bought out by or married to a ranking samurai or a rich merchant. In the endogamous classist society of the time that was never going to happen otherwise.
At the very least, I was glad to discover historical Japanese brothels, didn’t whore out children, instead of waited for them to become a mid to late adolescent.
And of course, I’m glad to not only live absolutely not in medieval Japan, but also in a place where enslaving the kids to become prostitutes isn’t considered a legitimate way of anything. Fuck yeah 21st century!
@@Mortablunt It's just sex. Modern people, especially westerners where Christianity helped shape the culture, act like sex is some huge deal and borderline evil, or at the very least bad in some way. And sex with lots of people, and for money, just horrible. Reality of course has very little to do with what goes on inside the mind of a cultist, I mean, culture. People all act like we're so advanced now and this kind of behaviour is just reprehensible, then they go wank of to some eighteen year old imported from a poor war torn country getting gangbanged while giving away all their money to the love of heir life which lives on OnlyFans that totally doesn't have a boyfriend and two kids in the next room.
Literally the first 5 ish minutes of the video LMAO
The truth was that most of them did not get to eat white rice, or enough of it, until they made it big. It's commonly described on Japanese websites that the dealers lied to the parents, and the children lived in terrible conditions, until they could make money for the brothel
If it was so great the parents would have given away their daughters for free (relying on their daughter sending home money or white rice as a rich prostitute)
I feel terrible for these kids (and many others), but I'm always happy to see a new Linfamy video get posted.

@@ChrisHeart-kr1uq It's sad that you have no friends or anything to look forward to irl lol
me too, but this time not even the well-written jokes and in-depth historical information of the video could keep me from getting grossed by the fact that these poor kids were being treated as objects and sold for their bodies...
Another point about the Kamuro/Courtesan relationship that came to mind: a lot of these courtesans would have been forced to abort or give up a child at some point. I wonder if many of these courtesans saw their kamuros as foster daughters or as a replacement for the children they lost. I’m sure not every courtesan who was made to mabiki or sell their child actually wanted to
Some maybe, but most definitely not, you have to understand people back in the day had a totally different view of children compared to us now. No one gave much of a fck about kids, most families had like 5-10 kids anyway and they couldn't even feed them all.
1:21 Human Traffickers still use this tactic to this day- taking advantage of poor well meaning loving but desperate parents… people who do that should not be shown mercy
Agree.

@@livingmasquerade1418both im assuming?

This is why we shouldn't rely on movies such as "The Memoirs of a Geisha", in exploring Japanese culture, coz such adaptations isn't that accurate & some could be misleading. Thanks for the video & clarification Lin-chan! 🎉💐☺️
The author actually knowingly misrepresented aspects of a geisha's life. The geisha he consulted, Mineko Iwasaki, has released her own memoirs in response if you would like to read those instead.
The women who Memoirs of a Geisha was based on hated the movie and book and said it was extremely misleading and sensationalized.
Fair, but Memoirs included pretty much all of this in the story. The relationships were more dramatic, but I don’t see a huge discrepancy in the actual structure.
@@BloodWiredplease do correct me if i'm wrong but as far as i know geisha aren't courtesans, that is an oiran. The book exaggerate some things like that coming of age ceremony/mizuage. Maikos that graduated to geishas didn't sell their virginities, they just finished their studies & moved from dorms (in which they got taken care of by the mother of the house and get to live for free) to live independently and schedule their own performance and most of them already got loyal patrons on their own. I read that some geishas did sleep with their patrons or even become a mistress though.
Memoirs is so bullshit, it makes Madama Butterfly's plot look sensible.
Nothing like a red lantern-themed episode!

I love the Red Lantern District stories. They are the real life stories that show the good, bad and indifferent players involved
Just another one in the series
In some ways i expected the brothels to have just kept rh girls regardless of what the contract says but it's really nice they reached out to the parents when the girls were 13 or 14 when the contract ended. That was surprising
There is a big difference between sex industry and sex slavery. The difference is a brothel worker at least puts on an air of enjoyment and interest. A sex slave is just gonna be depressed and more often then not is kept in their situation via drug addiction. Both are just there to get f***ed, but the former is going to make much more money because the average guy isn't gonna shell out his fortune to hump a sad unresponsive girl.
Children are considered parent's property in most places, including US states. You may not want to be too surprised until we abolish child marriage "with permission".
@@jamie1602 as long as christians have any say in it, that'll never be abolished here, sadly.
Yeah. The girls are technically slaves. It's pretty common in East Asia to sell off girls like that. (Boys can be sold too, but I guess their treatment will be more like adapted sons. And actual server contracts are entirely different things from prostitution.)
There are contracts similar to adaption, so it can be pretty ambiguous too. But when it is written contract in play, they're almost always sell as servitudes.
they were.. they had their things cut off so that they wouldnt cheat with the women
i'm pretty sure they weren't "technically" slaves they just *were* slaves
Doesn't the rest of the world have something like that ?
@@hiidenkiuasThey were slaves in a sense but also not because slavery is a caste system. Meaning you’re a slave and can never not be a slave. High ranking courtesans had varying degrees of authority and power. Doesn’t make the history any more fun but reality is far more complicated in ways we spoiled modern people don’t understand nor even try to understand.
@@vistalover9607 i’m pretty sure that slavery is still slavery even if there’s no caste system

Despite how toxic my mother was with me or my sister, because of our absent father, she would never allow us to be treated in such an inhumane way (exploitation, objectification), by other guys. She even told us that we should be carefull.
Fun fact, sekihan (the rice and red bean dish mentioned) is sometimes used to announce when a girl has started menstruating.
Another great Japanese history vignette from Linfamy! Equal parts hilarious, educational and distressing!
Tengen Uzui, the sound hashira from the anime Demon Slayer, nearly kidnaps several unwilling young girls that he doesn’t know to sell to the red light district. He’s supposed to be one of the good guys. Keep in mind this takes place in Taisho era Japan (early 20th century) not the Edo period.
While I still dislike him for that, I do understand that he was desperate and wanting to save his wives…people can and will do disgusting things to save their love ones.
^^ and in all fairness, they were explicitly going to be spies. I don't think he'd just sell them off and leave them there, lol.

It's interesting to see these videos explaining history and drawing parallels to modern time. Men being "loyal" to a courtesan while expecting special treatment reminds me of those stories pf idols getting in trouble for having boyfriends.
Yes, it is similar but there's a small difference: Idols are often pressured into keeping an innocent, playful and childlike image to appeal to the pedophi- I mean their fans, because idols are seen as property by their male fans, like dolls. If an idol as a boyfriend, it mean she's not virgin anymore, and worst of all, she has a LIFE OUTSIDE OF HER FANS. Those fans wants those girls to STAY virgins... like them.
So both courtesans and idols are seen as property by the men, but the way their bodies are sold to them are differents
@@LeoDBW"stay virgins like them". Harsh but true.
@@LeoDBW or maybe people are mad that they got lied to about who they're supporting? its an industry exploiting vulnerable lonely men, the fact that idols exist in the first place is because their fanbase isn't mentally healthy. no sympathy there.
@@kokujo-5092 "Lied"? They aren't products; "Haha, deception! we lied to you, these young girls are in fact human beings with their own life!"
Seriously, It's not the idols faults, that industry also prey on young girl sometimes as young as 13yo, and groom them into "perfect girls" who can't even make their own life choices, blame the higher ups and the managers who put these girls under so much pressure and sell them to these adult men.
@@LeoDBW yeah? that is the deceptions. they are presented as perfect young single girls. they're called idols, its in the name. most idols know what they're getting into. but even here you've now switched the blame onto hypothetical groomers instead of "pedophi-"/"idols are seen as property by their male fans, like dolls". the fanbase is not in the wrong for being weird, they are targetted as a demographic BECAUSE they are weird and being lied to leads them to keep being weird. its the idols and the idol industry at fault.

You know, when I started reading and translating old Japanese stories, I was very surprised about how much they dedicated to making stories about love, marriage and. . . Other things. Apparently they enjoyed stirring romances and scandalous gossip as much as anyone else. By the way I've got a couple of videos out about stories that center marriage and sex if anyone is interested in hearing my personal rendition of some primary sources on these things.

The whole Geisha stuff is just a small part of Japans medieval prostitution system, not everyone got an education in arts and wore expensive clothes, most just were simple protitutes with cheap clothes and tons of makeup trying to look like Geishas or other high-class entertainers.

Amazing, so informative. I enjoyed your video very much! You have a great storytelling gift. This is so interesting! I had no idea, honestly. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one!
honestly when i heard ancient egypt had equal rights and no female oppression i was suppressed cause ive never heard of a country that did enslave, sell, or use women as some object for a treaty
Honestly though... This happened throughout history (not just in Japan) and still does in poor cultures.
Not only poor cultures
It happened with my aunt's friend, her sister took her on a trip but was trying to traffic her to a pimp by leaving her without any money in a far away town. Gladly she got saved by a guy with a car before anything could happen to her, this happened here in Brazil. The crazy thing is that we are very sensitive about this topic and today even the organized crime attacks groomers, domestic abusers and grapists.
Sadly not just poor cultures ether, ever heard of Jeffery Epstein? I think that dude alone exposes why pedos aren't sentence to death in the u.s
though more than poor cultures, the very rich ones have the worst of it, the problem is that they hide it very well;

This definitely explains Japans lax attitude towards cheating and the fact that 13 is the age of consent for "adult acts" done in a love hotel.

Talk about preaching without knowing what you're talking about.
The context of these doujinshis existence is due to a protest on the ban of pubic hair in drawn pornography.
The context of the age of consent was due to a island Japan owned, it did not apply for the rest of Japan at all for the longest time.
And you're talking about a xenophobic and missinformed hit piece against japan as a whole.
Get out.
@@guliverjham8148 I was not referring to a doshinji and I do not know how you would even infer that from the context of my comment. I spoke in reference to the one of the general topics of the video.
Also, I am not sure why you think it is not a problem that Japan still has when neutral, reputable news sources such as PBS and the associated press report things like:
"(From June 16th 2023) Japan’s parliament on Friday raised the age of sexual consent to 16 from 13, a limit which had remained unchanged for more than a century and was among the world’s lowest, amid calls for greater protection of children and women."
And : "Japan in 2017 revised its criminal code on sexual crimes for the first time in 110 years. A series of acquittals in cases of sexual abuse and growing instances of sexual images taken of girls and women without their consent have triggered public outrage, prompting the new revisions."
If that is not a lax attitude then I don't know what could possibly be considered lax. 110 years!!!!
I did just learn about the above change from 4 months ago today. But while it is good, necessary, and I wholeheartedly support it, saying that things will be fixed now is like saying racism dissapeared from America back in 1863 with the emancipation proclamation.
Furthermore, I must insist you provide whatever factually supported reasoning you have behind saying that the paper I mentioned is a xenophobic hit piece. Cite your sources. Because, in case you haven't noticed, this video is about the very same history that the above-mentioned research paper cites to explain the historical context and basis linking Japan's current problems to its past. The paper cites several sources. Can you?
Child marriage was practiced world wide at that time, and is unfortunately still practiced in parts of the united states. The US Republican party even blocked a bill banning child marriage this year. Stop pretending Japan is the only country that does stuff like this.
@@magnadramon0068 Please point to the spot where I said "Japan was the only country that does this." It does not exist. This is what as referred to as a "strawman" argument. Since you mentioned America though, according to an alexanderstreet article in the internet archive entitled "The Campaign to Raise the age of Consent, 1885 -1914" the age of consent in America was raised to 16-18 years old in every state except Georgia by 1920. That is 103 years ago. About the same time a certian news article mentioned that Japan had last made changes to its criminal code on sexual crimes. It is so long ago that I don't know if my great-grandparents had met each other yet at that time. I do know that until this past June Japan was the only developed country with an age of consent at 13 though. The age of consent org website said so.
P.S. Please do cite your sources your sources showing why the research article I mentioned was a xenophobic hit piece. I insist.
Yayyyyy a new videooooo
YES... The BEST video`s on youtube !
I love “spread the knowledge”
Well both of those are weird.
1 hookers getting jealous of men sleeping with other hookers because you were only allowed to be with 1 hooker at a time
2 the fucking weird part is little kids getting bought by a brothel due to crippling poverty and getting groomed into being professional...you get it im not saying that that word in the same sentence as children
Yeah history can be really fucked up
Its a non-compete clause.
Enormous amounts of wealth changed hands in the pleasure districts, businesses generally want to avoid clients and employees giving their money to others. It ensures an income for the courtesan if hes not allowed to spread his money too evenly to everyone in the brothel but rather focus on one particular woman. Her job is a lot more work than laying on her back, as alluded to with her music and dress education. These women were artists, performers, actresses; they knew how to work lighting, perfect their make up, tell stories, sing, dance and play instruments. They were entertainers of *all* kinds.
@@Nazuiko Basically like modern day OnlyFans or wherever these girls sell nudes or lewds. The photography, dressing, makeup, and constantly posting to on social media to get new patrons. Though they usually don't need to do a whole song and dance number.
@@sor3999 Are you REALLY comparing 7 to 9 year old children being trafficed into sex work and Onlyfans? What the fuck is wrong with you mate?
@@sor3999This is the biggest reach since halo.
Loved the singing. Thank you.
I've gotta say, I love how you present such a dark topic with such dark, sarcastic humor. It's perfect.
Part of me wonders if there are stories of an abused prostitute returning to her parents after death for payback Ring/Grudge style.
"Sometimes life can be hard, and so can men."
What an opening lmao
They had to teach them not to kill themselves? Fuck, man. That’s depressing as shit.
Yay..I'm early...as always good video
Hi early, I'm linfamy
Your videos are hilarious, this one in particular.
I like how your not just relying on ancient art and anime cells. You actually used some original art.
Very interesting!
This is so interesting!
“Sometimes life can be hard, and so can men”
The fucking intro killed me💀
good one!👩🏻🎓
Somehow simultaneously horrifying and adorable. Thanks for spreading the knowledge, Linfamy!
His analogies and commentary are just top tier😂
ikr? it's not like this is a disturbing topic or anything
Excellent video as always, but for any Japan history fans I have sort of an off topic question....
Is there any TV Shows or Movies, that take place in Pre-Sengoku Japan? I just finished a Korean History binge with 6 or 7 TV shows (considering a Korean show on average spans 50 episodes, it took a while lol) and I have been wanting to delve into Japan history, however I have seen a ton of stuff that is set in the Sengoku/Edo periods but can find literally nothing during the Heian/Nara period. I found an anime that was set during the Heian that involves a little girl who's blind father is beheaded in front of her, it was mostly just depressing than exciting or interesting. Other than that I played a PS2 game Genji: Dawn of the Samurai set during the Heian, and Total War: Shogun 2 has a Taira vs Minamoto campaign. That about sums up all I could find.
What the name of the anime
Try Heike Monogatari, the Science Saru adaptation
That was not as dark as I expected. It was still pretty dark, though. The humor in this video certainly helped with that.
Sweet episode
Sweet comment
@@Linfamy thank you!
I always come for the history lesson but stay for the humor lol
Yo! What's up Linfamy. Thanks again for new video, as always. By the way, life of being woman is much easier now than before cuz you have freedom and laws that can protect you. But everytime its not enough to protect to any unfortunate situations. Being a kid born in poor situation tends to experience sad life. Until you become adult, maybe you wish there is good samaritan grab you up to better place? Yeah long message. Great video,keep the good quality and knowledge as always. 👍
the first line killed me straightaway
what did i just listened to😫
good detail anyway👍
This dark humor is absolutely up my alley
The script for this one had me spit my drink out 3 times 😂
Every time this channel pops up in my feed, the video is about Japanese women, their lives, and variations like courtesan, princesses and youkais.
I could mistake Linfamy as a dedicated Japanese Women history channel. Or is it really?
Thanks for the history lesson Mr. Hankey.
You're welcome 💩
These one liners make it easier to hear about unspeakable practices 👍 Proud of you 👍
"...getting assau- each people..." 😂😂😂
Man... some spicy lines in this one. Linfamy have you every considered standup?
Seems that modern maid cafes or idols aren't much different. Birds of a feather.
Father blesses us with history
