My wife will help you with books, online sites, etc.  The Oiran douchu, which occurs in October in Asakusa (Yoshiwara) is another study that requires excellent understanding of Japanese language. Especially Classical Japanese. You can read how the Oiran of even today take 3 years to learn the 外八文字/Sotohachimonji/Yoshiwara Oiran walk, the study of holding ones head up straight while walking this way wearing the heavy Oiran katsura, the Koma geta etc.  If you are interested let us know. Please note that my wife writes in Japanese about this subject, you may use English also and use the translation site below to peruse her letters and the sites.  Please note that Tayuu douchuu uses the 内八文字 / uchihacimonji /Shimabara  Tayuu walk.  My wife is making the Tayuu katsura this soon. Please look forward to it. We make special autions for specific orders and restyle Japanese katsura into traditional Japanese styles from Edo Jidai too. Maiko, Geisha (Tsubushi and Chuutaka  shimada), Oiran, Tayuu, Kamuro, etc. And for men we have Edo Jidai Yakuza, Samurai, etc. We have all that have to do with the professional Geiko/Maiko. Do not be fooled by fakes sold online as authentic Geisha/Maiko items, as this is a market that is ONLY profitable outside of Japan. Please ask for Authentication.  Please inquire. Please use English, Japanese, Spanish, andFrench to inquire.   日本語でお問い合わせどうぞ。If you are a buyer with low feedback, no feedback, or negative feedback we will cancel your bid if you do not contact us before bidding.
