Reviews
One of the first extensive Western-language surveys of this vital component of Edo culture. Its value is as great as the influence of the Yoshiwara was pervasive: students of any aspect of early modern urban culture will find much of value in its richly informative chapters... It attracts by its high readability, its engaging blend of factual data, translated anecdote, and paraphrased episode.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • A fabulous book full of interesting facts and details!

    A well-written and fascinating account of the history of Yoshiwara, the pleasure quarters of old Tokyo, and the Courtesans who lived there. It is methodically researched and has excellent chapter notes and bibliography, yet it remains very readable for those with only a casual interest in the subject.
