What is "Oiran"?
The origin of the name is "Keisei" (leaning castle). It means a hetaera whom the castellan spends big money on enough to be no longer able to maintain his castle. "Oiran" is the first-class hetaera in Yoshiwara, and not only beautiful, but also versatile. Because they learned dancing, making Waka, Japanese art of tea ceremony and flower arrangement, and playing Koto and Shamisen by 15 years old. Only a handful of hetaeras with good looks and enough education were able to become "Oiran".
By the way, the costume and wig is about 25 kg ~ 35kg.
"Sukeroku" is a repertoire of a nifty man who is type to enjoy
cherry blossoms at night even in Yoshiwara where is the best
Yukaku (a part of city dedicated to brothels) in Edo.

「花魁」とは
「花魁」のもととなった名前は傾城と呼ばれ「城が傾くほど金がかかる最高級遊女」という意味があります。「花」魁は吉原の一流の高級遊女なので、ただ美しいだけでなく、15歳位までに舞踊、和歌、お茶、お花、お琴や三味線などみっちり仕込まれす。こういった教養と美貌を合わせ持った一握りの、遊女しか「花魁」にはなれなかった。ちなみに、衣裳かつらで約25㎏～35㎏,身にまとっています。
「助六」は、江戸で一番の遊郭、吉原で夜桜をも賞でる、粋気っ風のよさのある、すっきりとした、伊達男の役柄の演目です。
いわゆる、江戸の男のなかでも、大スター。
鉢巻の紫色（江戸紫）は愛い人との縁のあかしで、メイクも助六、独特の隈取りメイクです。
