2024/9/15 “That’s child abuse.” “Surely you don’t know what a courtesan is…?” “Ignorance is the worst. Too bad.》 《It’s such a shame that no adults were there to stop this from happening during the planning stage.》 The “Children’s Oiran Plan” offered by several photo studios is causing controversy. {It seems to be jumping on the Demon Slayer bandwagon} The “Oiran Plan for Children” is exactly what it sounds like: a plan in which your child will wear a flashy oiran-style kimono, put on makeup, and have their photo taken in a gorgeous Japanese-style studio. The plans are listed on the photo studio’s homepage, and photos are also posted on social media. “Oiran” refers to a high-ranking prostitute at the Yoshiwara pleasure district. There has been criticism of making children dress as prostitutes, but perhaps children are simply attracted to the sight of a gorgeously dressed woman. Recently, it has also been used as the setting for the new “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc,” and with the appearance of courtesan characters, it is becoming more well-known among children. There are also opinions linking this to the recent Demon Slayer craze, such as “It looks like they’re jumping on the Demon Slayer bandwagon,” “It’s painful that this plan is being blamed on Demon Slayer,” and “Demon Slayer only depicts the dark side of the red-light district.” When we asked several photo studios that offer the “oiran plan for children” what they thought about the topic that has become a hot topic on social media, they responded with, “We haven’t been interviewed,” and “The person in charge isn’t here. I don’t know when I’ll be at work.” No answers were given anywhere. Is it supply because there is demand, or is demand only possible with supply? Previous thread.
>>1 I think they should be allowed to do what they want with other people’s family photos But isn’t this just an article trying to stir up conflict? It’s like they thought they were a punching bag but it ended up falling flat I can just ignore this shitty media playing with dolls.
Although she was a high-class prostitute, she also had an idol-like side to her, so you could say she had values that were understanding of entertainment, but in the first place, brothels were basically places where girls who were sold by their parents went, so in that sense I don’t think it’s something a parent would make her do.
Is she really being bombarded with criticism? If you just look at it, it’s beautiful, and there’s no doubt it was a star, so if she wants to wear it, she should just let him wear it.
Oiran are like today’s popular entertainers who engage in prostitution and end up marrying wealthy men such as politicians, IT companies, and pachinko operators.
