ABSTRACT
Introduce the history of (Shin-)Yoshiwara and explore the role women played in these locations as well as the implications these locations had on society during the time. Moreover, explore the two sides of (Shin-Yoshiwara); the light side of Yoshiwara as a place where culture, art, and fashion prospered and the dark side of Yoshiwara that trapped women in harsh and violent environments.
