Dai-ya no koto.

(_Cook-houses of the Yoshiwara._)

In former days the present “_Dai-ya_” (cook-houses) were called “_Ki-no-ji-ya_” owing to the fact that a man named Oda-wara-ya Ki-ue first established such houses. Originally only the smaller brothels were supplied with food from these _dai-ya_, but now-a-days all the brothels, irrespective of size or grade, draw their foodsupply from the cook-houses. These _dai-ya_ supply every conceivable kind of food, be it _sushi_ (a fish and rice roll), _kwashi_ (cakes), _soba_ (buck-wheat macaroni), _midzu-gwashi_ (fruit), or what not; and according to the quantity of food, dishes are divided into three classes, viz:—_Nami-dai_ (ordinary dish), _Dai-shō_ (medium-sized dish), and _Ō-dai_ (a large-sized dish). These sizes are charged out at 25 _sen_, 37-1⁄2 _sen_, and 50 _sen_ respectively, but the _dai-ya_ are said to supply brothels at one third of the above prices, and if that be so then the latter earn a profit of two-thirds of the selling price to guests! The _rule_ is to make a prompt cash payment on delivery of food, but as a matter of fact a wooden ticket, bearing the sign of each brothel, is given in exchange for _dai-no-mono_ (food brought in) every time it is brought in, and payment is made the following day. It is stated by “those who know” that there are some brothels which have a debt of several hundred _Yen_ to the _dai-ya_. There are a great many _dai-ya_ in the Yoshiwara, but those which usually supply first-class brothels are “_Koi-matsu_” of Ageya-chō Ni-chō-me; “_Yao-kyū_” of the same street; and “_Matsu-no_” of Sumi-chō. In counting the number of _dai-no-mono_, the auxiliary numeral “_mai_” is used: thus “_nami-sammai_” (ordinary three flat things) means three ordinary dishes of food. This is generally abbreviated to simply—“_nami san_” (ordinary three) etc., and the auxiliary numeral eliminated. An ordinary dish, with a bottle of _saké_ thrown in, is known as “_ichi-mai ippon_” [one (dish) and one bottle.] Sometimes a guest orders food merely for the good of the house, and under these circumstances will be asked:—“What will you take?” He will no doubt reply:—“_Nan demo ii yo_” (“Anything will do”) and so the cook-house is instructed to send in a _demo-dai_ (a dish of “anything”: _demo_ is a contraction of _nan demo_ = “anything”) which means that there is no particular choice on the part of the customer.

By the way, there is, in the “_Shōbai Ōrai_” (倡賣往來) by Ikku, an item which shows a bill of fare in a _dai-ya_ a hundred years ago. It is as follows:—“The bill of fare of the “_Ki-no-ji-ya_” consisted of:—

These things were very popular (even outside the Yoshiwara) from the An-ei (1772–1780) to Bunsei (1818–1829) eras, and the “_Dote no kin-tsuba_” (a cake made in the shape of the guard on a sword-hilt), was well known even after the Restoration. There is still one store which deals in this time-honoured cake, and it is as popular as ever.

The _meibutsu_ (famous things) at present are the following:—The cuisine of the Kaneko restaurant; the _kama-meshi_ (iron-pot-rice) of Horikawa; the _tempura_ (fried fish) of Hamada; the _kabayaki_ (roasted eels) of Ōtsune; _Matsumo-zushi_; _shiruko_ (rice-cakes with a sauce of red beans and sugar) of Takaoka; _Ki-no-ine-meshi_ (rice boiled with soy); _kwashi_ (cakes and confectionery) of Futaba-ya; the _saké_ of Okuda; the photographs of Katō; the bath-houses of Ageya-chō and Kyōmachi; the patent medicines of Nakane and Konishi; the _ezōshi_ (coloured pictures) of Sanuki-ya; the _komamono_ (fancy goods) of Nori-ya; the _zōri_ (sandals) of Hishi-ya; etc.

Above all, the cooking of Kaneko is well known, and greatly esteemed, not only in the Yoshiwara but even outside the quarter as well. The construction and decoration of every room has been carried out in exquisite taste, and the furniture of the house is at once rare and costly: moreover, there is a fine bath-room in the restaurant, and, as everything is thus arranged comfortably for guests, many visitors to the Yoshiwara patronize the “Kaneko,” and go there accompanied by the _yūjo_ they have chosen as their companions.

In the streets are to be found vendors of rice-dumplings (_dango_), boiled red-beans (_ude-adzuki_), fruit (_midzu-gashi_), _oden_ (a kind of dumpling), _saké_ (rice-wine); _sushi_ (rice-cakes plastered over with fish or sea-weed on which vinegar has been sprinkled) etc., and crowds of miscellaneous hawkers and quacks, including _tsuji-ura_ sellers (_tsuji-ura_ are small pieces of paper on which are printed poems or mottoes: these are wrapped in cracknels made of rice (_sembei_) or put among parched-peas as a pastime), newspaper sellers, fortune-tellers (_uranai-sha_), _nattō-sellers_ (_nattō_ is a kind of food made from boiled beans), sellers of the _tōfu_ (bean curd) of Komatsu-bashi, sellers of _fūki-mame_ (cooked and sweetened beans), blind shampooers (_amma_) female hairdressers (_onna kami-yui_), washermen (_sentaku-ya_) messengers, etc. Then there are _shinnai-bushi_ singers (_shinnai-bushi_ is a style of popular song originated by a man named Tsuruga Shinnai), _Kapporé_-dancers, singers of _hayari-uta_ (popular songs), _ahodara-kyō_ (reciters of comic imitation of Buddhist sacred writings and prayers), and flute-players (_shaku-hachi_). Beggars swarm in front of the smaller brothels early in the morning and ransack the remnants of food left over by guests from the previous evening: the sight of these hordes of dirty unkempt beings, clawing at and hungrily devouring the broken victuals, is a sight at once sad and disgusting.

The Examination of Licensed Women at the Hospital for Venereal Complaints.

In September 1867, a hospital for the treatment of venereal diseases of prostitutes was established in Yokohama for the first time in the history of Japan, and subsequently similar institutions were established at Kōbe and Nagasaki. This measure was adopted by the _Bakufu_ Government owing to the representations made by an Englishman—Dr. Newton, R. N.—who, in spite of much opposition from prejudice and ignorance, succeeded in converting the authorities to his views after a long struggle. At first the physical examination of prostitutes was limited to the three ports of Yokohama, Kōbe, and Nagasaki, but in September 1871 the measure was applied to the women at Senju. The vital importance and value of such inspection not being understood by the public at large, the courtesans regarded the system with strong aversion, and they accordingly began to remove away from Senju to other quarters which were as yet free from the objectionable measure. This anti-inspection movement so seriously interfered with their business that the brothel-keepers were eventually forced to apply to the authorities to suspend the system, with the result that it was abolished in April 1872. In June 1873, however, the Tōkyō Municipal authorities again established physical examination offices, one being opened in each of the following six places:—Yoshiwara, Nedzu, Senju, Shinjiku, Shinagawa, and Itabashi. Examinations were made several times a month, and women who were found suffering from venereal diseases were sent to the hospital at Atagoshita for treatment. This was the first instance of a Lock hospital in Tōkyō, but since then similar institutions have sprung into existence in different parts of the country.

In October 1888, physical examination places were established in the Yoshiwara and five other _yūkwaku_ by the authorities, but in July 1889 these were abolished, and the brothel-keepers were ordered to fit up a hospital at their own expense: since that time the Lock hospital in every prostitute quarter has been maintained by the parties locally interested.

In the “Regulations of the Lock hospital of the Shin-Yoshiwara,” which obtained official sanction in June 1889, we find the following:—

“This hospital shall be known as the “_Kubai-in_” (Hospital for stamping out syphilis) and shall be established on the ground allotted for the purpose of providing against fire.

This hospital shall be devoted mainly to the treatment of prostitutes who are suffering from venereal diseases, and shall be conducted on the system pursued in the former Police Lock hospital.

There shall be a separate ward in the hospital in which prostitutes who are suffering from diseases other than syphilis may be treated.

The hospital shall have one chief physician and five assistant physicians, one chief pharmaceutist and two assistant pharmaceutists, four officials to attend to miscellaneous duties, two clerks, and ten female nurses.

The director and sub-director of the brothels shall supervise the monetary affairs of the hospital, and the appointment and dismissal of the chief surgeon and the members of the staff of the hospital shall be subject to the approval of the Metropolitan Police Board.

As to the mode of maintenance, and financial arrangements, etc., of the hospital, these matters are provided for in a separate set of regulations.”

[The rules relative to various details such as govern admissions, wards, etc., are omitted.]

The above extract will furnish some idea of the working of a Lock hospital, and as to the question of maintenance the following particulars may be interesting.

Buildings, furniture, and surgical instruments 15,000 (This was defrayed from the reserve fund of the brothels).

Working expenses per month 969 This is met as follows:—

By levying a contribution of 1 sen per diem on each prostitute and reckoning the number of women as 2150. 645

By charges made to patients of 9 sen each with an average of 120 patients per diem. 324

Generally speaking, the hospital is maintained in this manner, but when there is a deficit in its revenue this is made good by an appropriation from the reserve fund of the brothels (_kashi-zashiki no tsumi-tatekin_.)

As the number of prostitutes in the Yoshiwara is about three thousand women their physical examination cannot be effected in a single day; the quarter therefore is divided into districts to facilitate the process of inspection.

The regular examination days, and the inspection districts, are as follows:—

Monday: Kyō-machi It-chō-me; Tuesday: Kyō-machi Ni-chō-me, and Sumi-chō; Wednesday: Ageya-chō, and Yedō-chō It-chō-me; Thursday: Yedo-chō Ni-chō-me.

Of course special examinations are made when necessity arises.

According to the latest investigations, the result of examinations showed the average rate of infected persons to be over 6 per cent. The annexed figures for 1897 may prove interesting, but it must be borne in mind that they can only be considered as comparatively reliable. The results of examinations of course depend very much upon the strictness of the doctors in attendance, consequently every prostitute quarter varies in its stated percentage of infected cases. In 1898 the percentage of disease rose to as high as 5.58 average as against 4.73 average in 1897. This difference has been caused by the more thorough inspection instituted by the present surgeon in charge—Mr. Doi.[35]

There were about 2900 to 3000 women in the Shin-Yoshiwara, and therefore each _yūjo_ must have entertained, on the average, between 415 to 460 guests during the year.

Mu-sen Yū-kyō.

(_Going on a “Spree” without having any money to pay for it._)

[Illustration: _Ebisu_ (The God of Wealth).]

_Mu-sen yū-kyō_, or going on a gay frolic without being possessed of the necessary means, is locally known in the Yoshiwara as “_Ebisu-kō_” or _Hōritsu_ (“Law”). The former term has been brought into use because the majority of those who intentionally go “on the spree” without money attire themselves in the garb of wealthy people and so resemble the God of Wealth (_Ebisu_), who is much _en evidence_ at the festival of “Ebisukō” (in honor of the God of Wealth), although in reality they haven’t a “red cent” (_bita-ichi-mon_) with which to bless themselves when the time for squaring up accounts comes. The latter term has been coined owing to the fact that a large number of law (_hōritsu_) students have been guilty of swindling, but they generally contrive to evade their liabilities by means of ingenious arguments and managing to force their victims into committing technically illegal acts of which they take mean advantage and which they use as a weapon against creditors. As a matter of fact, the brothel-keepers sometimes find it impossible to appeal to the police, and are often forced to “grin and bear” their losses in silence owing to the “cuteness” and sophistry of the “_hōritsu_.” It is not uncommon for men belonging to the _shokunin_ (artisan) class to enter a brothel under the influence of liquor without consulting the state of their purses, and consequently to find themselves confronted next morning with a long bill which they cannot settle. These fellows are taken in hand by professional “fixers” (_shimatsuya_ = one who “fixes up” and settles matters) called “_uma-ya_” (horse-houses) who undertake to collect the bill on commission. The “fixers,” or “_uma-ya_,” send a messenger, known as an “_uma_” (horse), home with such defaulting guest, and this “_uma_” will dog the footsteps of the debtor until the latter pays his bill. Cases have however been known where the guest conducted a “horse” (_uma_) to a certain house, which he pretended was his own, entered on the pretext of obtaining some money, and walking through quietly, slid out of the back-door and escaped. But even when a guest temporarily escapes in this way, he is generally detected, and then, if he can’t pay, the “_uma_” levy a squeeze of 50 _sen_ per day on their victims.

[Illustration: (_Daruma_.)]

The “_Ebisu-kō_” plan of having a “good time” gratuitously is made a kind of profession of by some rascals, and it is said that in Tōkyō there are several societies or bands (_kumi_ or _gumi_) of expert swindlers in this line. Thus there are the Hongo-gumi, Kanda-gumi, Shitaya-gumi, Shiba-gumi, Fukagawa-gumi, etc., each _kumi_ taking its name from the district to which it belongs. There is also a special _kumi_ called “_Daruma-gumi_,” because its members have the figure of Daruma tatooed on their forearms, and carry on their fraudulent operations in a delightfully free and easy manner. The figure of Daruma is supposed to represent the celebrated prince and priest of Southern India—Dahma. This holy patriarch sat for nine years in profound abstraction till his legs fell off, therefore he is described in Japanese as “_o ashi no nai_” (“being without any august legs”) but this, by a pun on the words, can be understood as “being without any august cash.” Considering that the members of this “_Daruma-gumi_” never pay for anything, the “trade-mark” they have adopted is certainly very appropriate! Among the members of these beautiful societies, the act of evading payment of bills is known as “_Kipparai_” (_Kipparau_ = to cut right through an obstruction) or “_Nakaseru_” (“to cause to weep”).

Yoshiwara-gayoi no Jinrikisha.

(_The jinrikisha traffic of the Yoshiwara._)

The use of _tsuji-kago_ (palanquin) by the general public was permitted from the Genroku era (1688–1703), but the number of these conveyances in Yedo was limited to one hundred only! People, therefore, were in the habit of visiting the Yoshiwara on horseback. [The name of a street in the Yoshiwara—Uma-michi (Horse-street)—testifies to the fact that horses used to pass to and from the quarter.] Later on the palanquin traffic increased, but with the appearance of the Meiji (present) period, _kago_ dropped out of fashion.

The _jinrikisha_-men who ply between the Yoshiwara and Uma-michi are called among themselves “_yonashi_” (an abbreviation of _yonabe-shi_ = night-workers), owing to the fact that they sleep during the day-time and go to work at night. The best known _jinrikisha_ houses (“_Ban_” 番) in the neighbourhood of the Yoshiwara are called:—“Tatsu-shin,” “Hage-gumi,” “Honchō-ban,” “Dote-gumi,” “Misawa,” etc. The men belonging to these houses come out to pick up fares about dusk, and fortified with a “helmet of _saké_” chase after any likely pedestrian, accosting him with the words:—“_Danna, naka madé ikaga desu?_” (“Master, how would you like to go as far as the Yoshiwara?”). At first these knights of the _jinrikisha_ demand an exorbitant fare, but reduce the same, after some haggling on the part of the would-be riders, to about 15 _sen_ per _ri_. As soon as the man has settled terms, he will probably exclaim “_oi kita! hora yo!_” (almost untranslatable) and picking up the shafts of the vehicle start off as fast as his legs can carry him, brandishing his lantern (they call it a “_kamban_” among the jinrikisha fraternity) as he speeds along. A coolie who aims to secure a tip will probably ask his customer “_Danna, dochira ye tsukemasu?_” (“Master, to which house shall I take you?”) and if the reply is “_Nani, ō-mon de yoroshii_” (“Oh, just put me down at the great gate”) the rider is probably only bent on a stroll through the Yoshiwara for the purpose of sight-seeing. If, on the contrary, a fare replies “_Emon-zaka de orosé_” (“Put me down at Emon-zaka”), he is generally a cowardly fellow who is desirous of protecting himself from the _jinrikisha_-puller’s demand for additional payment by means of the close vicinity of the police-box on the hill.

[Illustration: _Jinrikisha_ (“_Kuruma_”) with puller and pusher (_atōshi_).]

When two _kuruma-ya_ are employed—one as an _atōshi_ (pusher) or _tsunappiki_ (extra puller in front)—three times the single fare is usually demanded because one of the men must return without a vehicle, and cannot therefore pick up a fare on his way back. The _atōshi_ or _tsunappiki_ has to waste his time in going home, whereas the man who has his _jinrikisha_ with him can generally earn something by picking up a fare on his return journey.

When a _jinrikisha_-man has brought a guest to a brothel or tea-house he is usually given a tip of from 20 to 30 _sen_, which is paid by the house and afterwards charged to the guest. There is also a body of _jinrikisha_-coolies known as “_mōrō-shafu_” (“shady” _jinrikisha_-men) who are invariably very bad characters. Sometimes these rascals have an arrangement with certain of the lower-class brothels (_bori-ya_=greedy and covetous houses) to inveigle country-folk into their dens and thus make improper gains. Among the _mōrō-shafu_ there have been desperate scoundrels who even dared to go the length of taking fares to lonely places and there robbing them of valuables and money after the fashion of highwaymen, but, owing to the stringent police system, as well as the control exercised by the jinrikisha-men’s guild, these evils have been greatly diminished. As regards the slang used by the Yoshiwara _jinrikisha_ coolies, there seems to be but little difference between it and that employed by outside _jinrikisha_-men.

[Illustration: _Jinrikisha_ (“_Kuruma_”) with puller and “_tsunappiki_.”]

Their method of counting is as follows:—

Yoshiwara Slang. Ordinary Japanese. Meaning. _Oji_ _Is-sen_ 1 sen. _Jiba_ _Ni sen_ 2 “ _Yami_ _San sen_ 3 “ _Dari_ _Shi sen_ 4 “ _Genko_ _Go sen_ 5 “ _Ronji_ _Roku sen_ 6 “ _Seinan_ _Shichi sen_ 7 “ _Bando_ _Has-sen_ 8 “ _Kiwa_ _Ku sen_ 9 “ _Dote_ _Jis-sen_ 10 “ _Furikan_ _Ni-jis-sen_ 20 “ _Yari_ _Ni-jū-go-sen_ 25 “ _Furi_ or “_Hansuke_” _Go-jis-sen_ 50 “ _Ō-yari_ or _Ensuke_ _Ichi yen_ or _Ichi mai_ 1 yen.

Other slang words abound, but we have not space enough to give more than a few examples:—

_Yaka_. Being in a hurry (_Isogu koto_.)

_Yanagi_. Not being in a hurry (_Isoganai-koto_.)

_Kaidashi_. This word is used to express the idea of a _jinrikisha_-man taking a fare to a certain place at a very cheap rate with the object of securing a better fare on his return journey.

_Aibako_. (_Ni-nin-nori no kuruma_) A jinrikisha to seat two fares.

_Monde-yuku_. The act of changing half-way when two _jinrikisha_ are being pulled in company and one contains two people and the other only one person.

_Terashi_. (_Rōsoka_) A candle.

There is a funny story told relative to the introduction of jinrikishas, and the consequent falling into desuetude of palanquins. A certain guest asked his “lady friend” in a brothel if she could tell him what sign was most used on the lanterns of _jinrikisha_-men: she promptly replied “_Yamagata ni ka no ji ga ō gozaimasu_” (“Mostly the shape of a mountain Ʌ with the _katakana_ syllable “_ka_”—カ—”). She was thinking of the signs used to denote the different classes of prostitutes (_vide_ page 123) and mistook the characters 人力 (_jinriki_) for the sign [SYM_14] and the syllable カ. It appears that in those early days the names of districts or guilds were not painted on the lanterns, but merely the two characters 人力 (_jinriki_), and hence the comical error!

Sanya-uma da-chin-dzuké.

(_The cost of hiring horses to and from the Yoshiwara._)

The “_Kinsei Kisekikō_” (新世奇跡考) says that in the olden days young bloods who frequented the Yoshiwara used to travel to and fro on horse-back. It was also a fashion of the period to consider everything white to be tasteful. Thus the craze went so far that people fancied white horses, white sword-hilts, white leather _hakama_ (loose pantaloons), white sleeves, and white everything else. In a book called the “_Ko-uta Sō-makuri_” (小唄總まくり)—published in the second year of the Kwambun (1661–1372) era—the following scale of charges for horse-hire is given:—

[Illustration: The “_Sanya-uma_.”]

[Illustration: Guests going to the Yoshiwara (_From an old print._)]

From Nihon-bashi to the gate of the Yoshiwara. Ordinary charge. 200 _mon_ (20 _sen_)

_Ditto_, with a caparisoned white horse, and two footmen singing the “_Komuro-bushi_” song. 348 _mon_ (34 _sen_ 8 _rin_)

From Iida-machi to the gate of the Yoshiwara. Ordinary charge. 200 _mon_ (20 _sen_)
