One of Eight Views of the Yoshiwara

One of Eight Views of the Yoshiwara is about a high level courtesan more specifically an Oiran that is washing a samarias black garment. Due to the distinct hairstyle of the Oiran called the Datehyougo,you could always point out an Oiran. Women no matter what stage or rank they're in have to ultimately be less than a male. This is a symbol of the cultural standings of women at the tims and how their purpose was to satisfy a male.These women were always a part of the working class, even if they were the highest ranked courtesans with intellectual knowledge in literature and arts.
