rank in licensed quarters. It required immense amount of money
to keep an Oiran so that those men who could whore were often
such people in high position. For this reason, the Oiran girls

and accomplishments such as Japanese classics, calligraphy,
waka poetry, shamisen, and game of go.
花魁は遊廓の中で位の高い遊女です。 花魁と付き合うためには莫大な資金が必要で、相手もそれなりの地位の者でした。
このため、花魁は幼少の頃から徹底的に古典や書道、茶道、和歌、三味線、囲碁などの教養、芸事を仕込まれていました。
