Harumi looks SO TALL, and the wig and white makeup really make her look larger than life in an amazing way. That the attire literally put the oiran above the crowd for her walk must have really been something to see back then. Like Tomoko said, it must have made the oiran look like idols. Although, now I have to wonder if oiran didn't have amazing strength to carry all that weight. Wearing 30 kilos WHILE playing an instrument? No wonder the training was so intense! Edited for typo.

I was always told that the reason why the obi was in the front for Oiran and Yujio is that they took it off several times a night to service clients. I never knew that married women wore their obi tied in the front as well.
@kangelsb0xcvtterr Жыл бұрын
I heard another thing is because originally noblewoman put them in the front to show that they had servants to do their work, and so they couldnt bend down, and then the Oiran and other people (sorry I don't know the terms) decided to wear it that way too, but the noblewoman did not want to be compared to prostitutes so they wore it on their back again. this is a very generalized explanation from my own memory though haha

Way back in the 80's, an art student friend of mine took me to the Art Mart, a building in downtown L.A. filled with shops where designers and interior decorators had stores meant for industry people, but on certain days the public could come in and buy. There was one store that had recently acquired the entire inventory of a wedding kimono rental outfit in Japan. They were selling the kimonos for $500 each. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. These were pieces that had rented for $300-$400 A DAY. I was frustrated and furious that I did not have the money to buy one, and it still makes me crazy that I couldn't. Those things were so magnificent, they were being sold as art pieces to hang on the wall. ARGH $500 ARGH HEADDESK.

To bad we couldn't see them apply the makeup but seeing all that is involved with putting the outfit on and the different layers of cloth and the shoes. And the outfit weighs 40 kilos when finished, Japanese women must be strong indeed. This has given me a better insight to the past when these outfits were worn by high ranked ladies of the time. Thanks again and I hope your family stays well and safe.
