Asakusa Oiran Dochu (Parade): Parade and Stage Performance in Tokyo Tokyo, Japan-April 13, 2019: Oirans' parade on the street of Asakusa after their stage performance in Asakusa, Tokyo. The woman under the umbrella with very elaborate kimono is Tayu, the highest-ranked Oiran. Oiran was a profession which flourished during Edo period (1600-1868) of Japan and was one of the popular figures in the woodblock prints. Although it has since died out, the Oiran tradition has survived even up to today in the form of parade and local entertainment in some parts of Japan. Oiran was, if I put in a nutshell, high class Geisha girls of those days. Yoshiwara near Asakusa was one of such most famous places and the parade and stage performance have been taking place on the second Saturday of April each year, attracting a huge crowd. The highest-ranked Oiran was called Tayu, who wear very elaborate silk kimono weighing about 20 kilograms. She wears about 15 cm high Geta (clogs) and walks in a special style called Soto-Hachi-Monji (outside 8 letter), as if she is drawing letter “8” by her feet, placing her hand on the shoulder of an accompanying man to keep her balance.
