Description

Three Yuujo (courtesans) posing on an engawa [veranda]. Hand-coloured albumen silver print by Adolfo Farsari, c.1885. These are not maiko. Maiko would not be obi-less. This image was taken at a well known brothel in Yokohama, the Nectarine No. 9. I've seen this photo as a postcard offered on Ebay several times.　They are presumably "Rasyamen," prostitutes for foreigners.

    "​横浜 ... 開港してわずか３、４年後 ... 現在の伊勢佐木町付近、当時の名で港崎町（みよざきちょう）に遊郭が出来た ... ", "高島町に遊郭が移ると、岩亀楼の勢いが衰え、代わりに頭角を現したのが神風楼だった。... ...
