From the Yoshiwara Oiran Dochu procession, April, 2016. Close up of oiran's distinctive walking style.

Jeez. That looks like a pain if that’s how you had to walk everytime you were seen in public or by clients.

They would train for literal years to perfect that walk!

No soles on those sandals when she reach Tokyo!

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

lol. They seem tall, but they were 2' taller when she started.

Actually they train for walk in a way 🙂 .... I actually regret when my big bro said that I don't wanna be a oiran now but geisha oki

When and where can I view this?

Hi Matt! Wondering if I could have your permission to use your clip for a live performance as a background visual?

Okay so cool and all but is EVERYONE going to walk with her at the same pace to make her feel “not left behind?” Honestly that would irritate me a lot. I would be like, “could you hurry it up? It’s hot out here and my feet are sore.” 20 hours later; “YES! We finally made it halfway to the finish line. So girlie, you wanna race?Okay let’s do it! 3,2,1, GO!” Then reach the finish line in 5 minutes.😂

Google what an "oiran" is.
